Default Carbon/Fibreglass Bonnets Research Thread

Im trying to find out what style carbon fibre and fibreglass bonnets you would all like if any. I have been talking to a few people who have asked for bonnets with and without scoops, vents etc. If you have time could you post up what you'd like, if we get enough interest for 1 bonnet I will get working on manufacturing it in the UK for you all.

Here are a few examples

Blobeye Reverse Scoop


Blobeye Scoop


Bugeye Reverse Scoop


Hawkeye Scoop

Would your stuff be standard fit or would you reconmend pins as well as latch?

Interested in a standard shape 96 shape legacy bonnet, mine weighs a ton! but would want it painted and unpinned ideally.

thoughts?

We always recommend pins for added safety, last thing you want is the bonnet coming up at high speed!

We can make a standard legacy bonnet if there is enough interest, if you wanted to paint it i'd advise going for FRP it'll be the same as carbon and be the same weight but alot cheaper.

Would be interested in the Hawkeye bonnet if it had a reverse scoop.
What sort of price would it be in carbon?

Prices would be around £300 in fibreglass and £500 in carbon give or take depending on how complex the bonnet is
