Thanks for all the comments guys, I knew some wouldnt be too keen :)

It would be criminal to paint carbon fibre IMHO, so she stays au natural :D :D :D

ROBO, siwrx is right, the vents are designed to draw air through the FMIC/rad.... if you think about it, the std vents on a scooby have no purpose, they are blanked off from the factory!

Michael, I came across the bonnet at an engine builder by chance after being pointed there by a mate, he had it turn up on a car he imported. A far as I know there are no others in the UK, so none for sale :( :D

siwrx, no idea who made it and when :)

TrippleX, I had considered that but I think the air would be swept over the scoop.... dunno....

Cheers guys, keep the comments coming :)

i think thats a wicked design m8, reminds me of the bonnet i ordered for my rx7 before i sold it. Actually does something worthwhile unlike the standard vents which allow a little heat out if you open them

POC!!!

Where did you bought that carbon hood???I´ve been looking for one for ages!!

"Rice rice baby.." ...

very niiiice :) one of the best carbon bonnets I've seen...
you and trouser should have a battle to see who can tart it up the most! :D :D :D

great stuff POC, and your car looks vicious :D

POC

I like it mate but I still prefer the tartan effect (can't find the thread :( ) that I gave it a few months ago ;)

Looking good :D:D

Cheers
Si

very, very cool.

Where did you source the bonnet from?

sly

Very nice indeed - but it does need painting. I'm with the idea of reducing the car's weight, and I like the look of carbon but in this context, the car should be all carbon ( :eek: ) or all painted.

Looks top mate! think it needs to match the scoop one way or another tho! (both black or both silver):D

Well done Mate

Thanks lads!!! :D

SiPi lol I remember that!!!! :D :D :D

I will look into getting a carbon scoop to match it, just worried that carbon from another source will not match the bonnet, only one way to findout i spose!

Keep em coming!

how much lighter is the rice rocket now??:D

ask these guys , mainly skyline , but u never know

carbon looks superb mate

WARNING: Carbon is addictive ;)

POC - who is doing the carbon on the scoop mate? Rob or Evo composites or someone new??

Finding a carbon bonnet on the scoob is bloody hard! Evo composites do it but they are back logged with work so much that you wont get it till about 6 months!!

Finding one in America is bloody hard to!!

On to one company so will let you know how that goes.

Knowing POC, he will change it soon for something else! lol

I got a corner, woo hoo! lol

Also POC, was you interested in the P1 rear or was that to much?? See my first post. I think its madness but let me know mate before he sells it

Nice 1

M

pure class motor !! :D

I *really* like that :D ...love the bonnet pins too :)

Wow, your car looks beautiful. That hood looks great.

cheers aaronclarkson@aol.com

sodding pics are down again, i shall re-install the server with a baseball bat in the morning :D

POC, that looks shockin' :( Absolute pants! What were you thinking :eek: Bloody awful!!













Only Kidding, Nice one as ever :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Mikey :cool:

Cheers Mikey ;) :D

DOes it make the car go faster ?

;)

look's good, still unsure though

Will it stone chip easy??

Pete

Presumably Steve, the answer must be yes (though only slightly) as it's usually a huge weight saving swapping from a steel to carbon bonnet ;)

Matt :)

PS: its an sti, so it was alloy to start with ;) the carbon is still lighter though :p

MRO do a carbon bonnet now, don't they?

Rob @ MRO was planning too, had too much trouble making it though, hes only making the GRP ones now :)

The bonnet is an Apexi item, or its a direct mould of the Apexi one.
There is a silver STi at RC developments with the very same bonnet, but its painted silver to match..not sure if its carbon, but its 100% the same bonnet. Mega ££££.
looks pure street racer, very trick.


all the best
