As above must be in immaculate condition cheers guys

Have a good look at them before buying..

People who sell them say there amazing

People that own then save face and say there great

People that jogged them on often tell you how p1ss poor the fit/mold/finish was and that they warp..

I've seen a few and I wouldn't fit one to my car if it was free.. Good ones must be as rare as 16yr virgins..

I didnt know they warped and that i assumed they would be good fit as there so exspensive i know materials are exspensive but still. I just want something diffrent i bought morretes just and want a bonnet with vents or carbon but want something that fits well

I'm happy with mine bud you just need to make it fit by slight adjustment to the hinge holes and keep it well polished.. But then again I was in the right place at the right time when I got mine.. What is the going rate for them?

The reinforcement is fibreglass and that's known for doing what it likes.. I'd carbon wrap an OE bonnet, all the looks with none of the fitment issues and when your bored of it, peel it off to reveal that lovely OE bonnet that not been knock while lay'd up in the garage.

There are some badass carbon ones that have the proper skin under them. I've only seen 2 and you won't get these new from cgb and to be fair you don't sound like your ready to spend the cash a proper one would cost.
The fibreglass ones from cgb warp and are generally a piss poor finish, ketchup sold about 5 off theirs off in one go on ebay as they were all damaged.

Mine dosnt even have the bonnet stand cut into it so it pisses me off when I want todo anything I will alter it in the summer.. I only put it on because it was cheaper than spraying my bonnet with this years stonechips..

Not sure who makes them but I know of one in someone's loft but doubt he will sell it and if he did it wouldn't be cheap.

Also if you want vents buy one pre done off mike or a member.

I'd just get a standard one wrapped mate- carbon fibre bonnets are mega bucks

[chris]

Yea would be cheaper and then i could keep my mint bonnet safe in loft in case i change my mind

[dangerous dave]

The one car crash is talking about was a custom job, the lad told me he took a brand new bonnet (checked/tested fitted) to a company and they made the top and bottom sections etc.. I'm sure he said something like £800 for 1.

Ouch, and this is the one up in the loft.. Not mine:sad2:

Yet:devil:

Ok well if anyone has a bonnet with vents or a good fitting carbon one let me know thanks
