You've seen Ralphs car havnt you mate?

Its the silver classic in this pic with the reverse scoop.

I think they actually look ok... will also reduce drag and increase overall aerodynamics!

Seibon do a carbon bonnet with reverse scoop and bonnet vents for a bugeye...you need to sell both your kidneys though !!

Roger Clark Motorsport do a carbon reverse louvered vent for the bugeye.........you only need to sell one kidney for this LOL

The other option is to get someone like RGM racepaint to cut open the bonnet in front of the scoop and fit a vent like the rally car

Carbon Fibre bonnets are rather expensivo as stated, but a bit weight drop over std bonnets and they do indeed look el nutso!

If you look in the right places you could find one for circa £400 as opposed to paying in excess of £700 if you go to Gruppe S or Roger the dodger...

Is the Milsport one not your cuppa tea?

I got a custom body shop guy (as you may well know) so if you want anything altered or fabricated just gimme a shout and he'll make it happen!

yeah ralphs one would be pucka, but its not in bugeye fit, and to be honest i dont really want to do the whole carbon bonnet thing because the weight savings over the aluminium one are negligable yet the cf will flap around and scare the witts out of me

Cheers for you suggestions keep them coming
