Hello everybody, I'm new here but I think you fella's may be interested in carbon fibre or carbon kevlar bonnets & maybe boot lids for your cars, I have just had a bonnet made for my peugeot 206 and I think you'll agree the finished produc is simply stunning, I cant post pix at the moment but I can e-mail you some this bonnet cost me just £600 so a scooby bonnet should be a simlar price?? mail me if interested aq1973@hotmail.com.
thanks for reading

alex

sounds a bit expensive, generally the scooby bonnets u get over here are 500-550 odd retail. Prob not worth doing a custom job, just importing from the us as they are available out there.

where are they for that kind of money???, the one I had made is hybrid carbon/kevlar ( black & yellow )

how much is it import a us one the carriage must be about £150 + the damage risk. is it worth it??/

its insured and i paid £60 carriage on it. So long as you declare it for its genuine value its fully covered. All my stuff has come from the US and I havent had a problem. The quality is amazing out there and the prices low. Then you just pay carriage and vat on top which normally takes them to 500 ish.

I believe TSL sell carbon bonnets out of stock now. Kevlar is cool, one of the companies i buy from has started doing pure kevlar, not carbon kevlar mix in about 6 colours, looks wicked, really different :)

Yeah as Si said, they cost between £500 - £550. There are quite a few companies doing them now. I emailed 4 the other day.

I got my carbon bonnet, carbon scoop and 22b vents (in carbon) for £520 including delivery.

Ive been told carbon bonnets cost £400 to be made - so they are already making £100 - £150 a bonnet quite easily.

This includes carbon, kevlar, whatever

Actually to second what money said, one of my friends is looking at importing a bulk of scooby bonnets for me for a group buy, these would be the same style as mine but dirty cheap if we could get a big interest id say we would be looking at 150 quid of normal retail

Si,
Who do you use to bring your bonnet in from the US for that price??
Ive got to send a bonnet from the UK to Luxemburg and its going to cost me £160.00 in carriage, would be very interested to know.
Thanks for any help, Rob.

He knows a guy in Fedex i think and thats why he got it so cheap

rob mine cost me 100 quid on overnight priority freight with fedex. Would have been 45 if id waited 2 weeks but im impatient lol.

My good mate is a manager at Fedex so I just got him to arrange the shipping

Ahh, contacts in the business :)
OK, thanks for the info.
Rob.

should be cheaper than that, luxembourg isnt far. Ring fedex and get a quote on sending it freight, if you dont send priority (next day) it should take a week and cost near to nothing

Ive just spoke to the man who made min and he can do scooby bonnets at £500 any body interested???

is that 500 with the scoops and little vents in carbon too

otherwise its a real pain to match the weave and find the parts, ideally you need them complete

Guy has dropped £100 already?

Siwrx, i think you shoud do a group buy for these lot. I reckon you could get it for about £400 or maybe a tad cheaper if you bargain with the supplier :D

yeah will look into it m8

Does anyone have any websites i could look at for a carbon bonnet as i am very interested in one.

£500 is as low as he'll go, not including scoops & vents

Michael, let siwrx speak to his supplier. He gets very good discount and thats why he gets it cheap!

That will include carbon scoop and vent :D

How about a carbon hood and leaving the scoob and vents as is ??

Depends on the colour of the car i guess.

Red it looks nice.

But green, blue, silver i think it will look nasty. Not even sure to do it if you have black

Nope, it's gotta be painted body-colour IMHO.

That definatley works for me

Bigall - are they doing one for the 03 cars?
