Carbon vs. alloy bonnet (classic)
 

Just a quick question, does anyone know if there is a significant weight saving through fitting a carbon bonnet to a classic that already has an alloy bonnet fitted?
I've got the chance to get a second hand one but I'm wondering whether it's worth living with the (IMO ugly) later style big scoop.

I can't find a reverse scoop to fit it either so that's out of the window :confused:

Many thanks,
Paul

No mate, minor difference between alloy and carbon ;)

And it'll look bloody awful with a carbon bonnet.

Awful with a carbon bonnet?

Especially one thats only half painted......
The only way to pull a carbon bonnet off is to have it painted. And to be honest the benefit is that small its not worth the money or hassle.

Pfft

It already has a carbon boot and carbon V6 spoiler.
I think it looks ok.....
Maybe a carbon bonnet would be a bit much.

Add a carbon roof scoop to and you're golden fella :thumb:

Minimal weight saving, but the rest Is down to you kinda its your car if you fancy a carbon bonnet wang one on there.

Gota love an Evo though. Am not a fan of carbon tbh but looks ok ish on the Evo. An not a fan of the half painted carbon bonnet on the blue classic but each to their own
