Hi mate, they are fibreglass if your interested in them, then get in contact with Darren at ABW. And he'll be able to sort you out.

Agree with that, when i fitted the seibon bonnet on the spec'C' i actually removed it for a week while i sourced an extra pair of hinge's that i drilled out larger holes for more adjustment.

Just something I drew, (very rough) its going to be the bracket that i'm going make. I can then bolt this to the car and then bolt the horns to it. That will space the horns out aswel.

At the time I did'd have the funds for carbon bumpers there maybe something in the pipe line, but for a bumper your looking atleast £2500 for one bumper. That a lot of money if you crash it when you can buy a fiber glass one for a £200. But like you said why go to all the trouble with the rest of the car. Lets see what happens in the future i might get some.

It wasn't a criticism as I think the car looks lovely. But I think as you've got this far you may as well finish the job.

I no what you mean mate I did'nt take it as criticism. Really appreciate all the feedback. I would like carbon bumbers. There maybe be something in the pipe line. I'll see what ABW can do, if they can do it they will.
