Since my bonnet has been damaged,i have toyed with the idea of a carbon bonnet on my white classic.
It would be the only carbon item,everythig else is white,wheels/skirts/handles/spoiler etc

would it look odd ?

also,whats the deal with carbo,i would be buying 2nd hand so what to look for,price etc ?

if anyone has a white classic with just carbon bonnet,pic ***** away

cheers

Not carbon but you get the idea

i believe seibon are the best in quality and fit ? but look for any fading/yellowing of the laquer ! this is not problem it will either need (if only slightly faded ) a buff with cutting compound ? or at worst a couple of coats of clear laquer to bring it back to new condition

and i think they look amazing on white pics when done ?

i dont suppose they stamp the bonnets with names/brands, as it will be 2nd hand so i cant tell ?

Does anybody know if you can still use bonnet struts/dampers with the carbon bonnet,as i have bonnet dampers on my alloy bonnet

cheers

Yes you can use dampers from your alloy bonnet.

I'm using dampers for my carbon bonnet.
