Cheers mate
Any background info on the bonnet would be great, or just a contact number of a supplier..... interested how much they cost etc..
No effort needed though mate, I am sure I can turn up info if I try hard enough

no m8 another major tuning company make them in carbon identical to the one that POC has, its definately one of them even down to the shape of the scoops. Just keeping name off main board so POC can keep some originality.
Id be very surprised if apexi have the same one as the 2 companies would sue each other stupid for copywrite id assume. wud b interested to see this gt bonnet thing, but the one poc has is defo not apexi. He got a blinding deal on it too jammy git

why would u want the vents the other way round? the idea, like the new wrc scooby is to draw air through the radiator and intercooler (if front mounted) and the pass it out over the bonnet. Same concept as the TVR tuscan uses. If they were the other way round theyd put more air into the engine bay with no way to get out which would result in the front end of the car lifting, which is not gonna be good for handling

nah not found a matching scoop yet, not really looking, the silver scoop has grown on me It looks alot better in real life than it does in pics (well, so I keep telling myself).
I seriously doubt I will find a scoop in matching carbon weave, this bonnet has a few years use on it and im sure it will have faded slightly from when new.....?
