    Default Carbon Fibre look-a-like bonnet

    For sale: a lightweight carbon fire look-a-like bonnet, not exactly sure what is made of, but it is really light, has the "badboy" lips for the lights, I'll show it on the car and off, it is bowed a bit and doesn't fit wonderfully well, but if someone wants it to cut the vent out then all good it does have the holes cut out of it for a set of bonnet pins, 3 sets to be precise which I thought was rather stupid but oh well.

    £10 collected, if you interested then PM me and I shall give you some contact details as work is very time consuming

    On the car:


    Off the car:


    The vent:


    The inside of the bonnet:

    all the sealant on the underside is a clue and it sits low and sags on your car so i would agree with above. TBH nobody on here will buy it

    Well we will see, I only put it on here to see if it would sell, otherwise I'm going to ebay it and see what I can get there, probably not a lot though

    I would have the vent myself, that part is fine but I haven't got the time to try and modify it to fir the car and it wouldn't add weight to the car, well not enough to notice anyways, I'm sure someone can find something to do with it. I just want it gone.

    that's an overlay bonnet, you need to glue it to an normal one.

    it's from quad conversions.
