Default VERY cheap Carbon fibre bonnets, 3 left £350 a piece with scoops + vents

OK guys, those interested have to be very quick on this one.

There are only three left.

I have dropped this dude to a remarkable 350 quid for each bonnet on a first come first served basis.

This price includes delivery as well as carbon scoops and vents which i think is an unbelievable price

Only thing needed is fittings from the older bonnet and the rubber seals etc from the old bonnet also.

Infact there are only two left as ive taken one


heres are two pics

looks as though they can be. I was thinking the same but thought naa, leave them as they are.

But do remember these are brand new packed up so who knows, maybe u need to fit the scoob and vents ureself i.e. they might come as seperates in the pack

I think these are the carbon bonnets i did before from USA last year. They were pretty good and cheap. But now so many companies out there like Seibon, and the quality is better

I dont wish to put anyone off, but I nearly bought one of these bonnets 2nd hand from someone. When I asked why he was selling, he was completely honest with me, and said it was because the door open light kept illuminating when he went over 70mph, cos the bonnet was lifting so much, and triggering the under bonnet switch!!!

That is what stopped me buying one.

aah thanx for that Custom. Im needing more people to tell me of such experiences cos it now looks as though im no longer gona get one. 350 is still a lot of money and for something of poor quality, its not worth it

It puts you off when you're on the motorway and it's flapping up and down like a bastid!

And as for strong headwinds.............

Hello mate.

Right where to start:

Some guys didnt really like the vents but I guess some of them changed them so that wasnt to bad.

They werent that light, they were heavier than ally bonnets. I think its the poor design that made them flap. To be honest, siwrx has one of these on his project carbon scoob and we were on a motorway doing just over 100. It was flapping like mad, but he said it wont come off. Still was unsure and didnt really like it.

Some bonnets had problems with weaves and had to be sent back.

One one bonnet, the scoop came off as wasnt that well designed to fit.

I wouldnt go for it mate. Cheap but really not worth it
