whats a sensible price one of these?

also do breakers (gradeA) sometimes have these in?

just testing the water coz I want one, but dont want to be robbed..

M0NEY

They are £450 brand new (not painted). Bloody rare to find a second hand one and when you do, they go for about £400 as they are painted

chiark

You don't need it mate!

Anyhow, carbon fibre is an option too, now...

siwrx

go for carbon m8, theyre so cheap now. Managed to blag myself a trade deal from a us company to get one for 200 quid. With shipping itll come to about 300, but thats cheap and its so much better than ally

M0NEY

siwrx, that is bloody cheap! Who was that with? I shopped about in the US but they were all silly prices. Then by the time i paid for the bonnet, they wanted stupid money for shipping and then pay vat and import costs on that!

And then i found out they were carbon sheets

You got the site mate? Ive ordered mine so its a bit late but it will be interesting to see

siwrx

i assume ur coming to the works on sat anyway m8 so will get Dawn to introduce us and we can chat bout it then m8. My m8 works for fedex so all shipping i get stupidly cheap, the bonnet was 200 quid trade from this company and is apparently pure carbon fibre (aint seen it in flesh so dont know.) Gotta work out what itll be with tax, shipping etc, but i reckon theyll be **** loads cheaper than the 600 odd quid companies over here charge. I reckon my old ally bonnet will raise enough to pay for the carbon no probs.

Now im looking into carbon bootlids too, saw a pic of a car with one and it looks the ****

M0NEY

Is it this sat mate?

Sounds like you got a good deal. £600 is good if you can find a company in the UK. I emailed Norris Designs and they quoted me £1000!!!!!!!!

Have to say i dont like the boot lid but it may look better in the flesh.

Rasher

can you order an alloy bonnet from a dealer then???

Brun

What is the weight difference between ally and steel?

*Sonic*

Dunno, but I do know the difference is using one complete hand for one, and your little finger for the other to lift them up

M0NEY

lol! And the carbon fibre is lighter than the ally one

Rasher

So where can you buy an alloy bonnet from????
A Subaru dealership???

Rasher

anyone???

siwrx

u can get ally bonnets ordered from dealers, breakers etc etc

Money the carbon bonnets on scoobynet shop are around 600 but this one i found is like 300 in the country, they weigh nothing so my m8 can ship them with his fedex account, he gets about 80% off due to being senior management

Rasher

cheers

M0NEY

Siwrx, cool mate. Hopefully ill speak to you when dawn introduces us! lol
