very nice, I've blagged the photo for the site, hope you don't mind.
Think I might add a section for cf bits, as I think they look really trick.

IMHO whether a carbon bonnet / scoop etc... improves the look of the car comes down to the colour that the rest of the car is in. Deep Blue, Black & Steel Blue (to name just 3) would look OK with a bit of carbon here or there. Silver on the otherhand doesnt.
...but thats just me.

Lol at Mark.
If you are thinking about a genuine though mark, me and si may start a group buy as loads of people are interested.
He has a great supplier and could work out £350 for cost of bonnet, carbon scoop and vents, inc vat and delivery into the uk!
He has already got one for himself and has had so many people email him that he is thinking about doing it. lol
He is just finding out from his guy in the US

lol! Didnt think that many would be interested. pmsl.
Its no guarantee guys but will see what i can do.
Have you felt your steel bonnet?? The ally ones are ALOT lighter than the steel and the carbon are lighter than the ally.
So basically, the carbon will be a hell of a lot lighter!

wonder what the weight saving over a steel bonnet would be.

I was shocked at how much lighter the STI bonnets were (relative to my UK Turbo bonnet). Also, I've seen references on SN to TSL's carbon bonnets. Specifically, the fact that they're quite substantial - making them similar in weight to the alloy bonnets. Are these carbon bonnets not that thick?

One carbon bonnet i found was 7.5kg i think.
TSL uses alot of carbon layers on the bonnet so i think thats why its heavier and is the same weight as the ally one.
The guy who has bought the bonnet who we are trying to get the group buy through, his bonnet is definitely lighter than the ally ones
