Oh and it weighs in at just 5 kilos, that's 10 kilos lighter than the steel bonnet. It is made from a single sheet of carbon so there are no joins.

Agree with above, Gossy`s been bouncing off the walls in excitement awaiting his bonnet, you couldn`t tell from that picture though eh!!!

I saw this bonnet complete with the carbon scoops being fitted today. The fit is perfect, the gaps between wings spot on, and the carbon..................oh the carbon, its perfect. True class, i`d love one

It's an exact copy of an OE bonnet, so it takes the standard scoop and vents (and also the little and big SKoops fit the OE bonnet)
Also because it's an excact copy it has all of the cross bracing, so from the view of the front corners lifting it's probably stronger than the Alu one!

The pictures really cannot describe how good this is!!

Top breakfast cooked by Gossy - thanks mate

Bonnet was amazing - you can literally lift it with one finger - even lighter than my old TypeR ally bonnet!

I wonder if I can get one for my Octavia...

How much did it cost for the bonnet without the Scoops and i assume that the original scoop still fits the carbon bonnet?
