no1 for a hatch

no2 uses a blob vent so will look daft on a hatch

no3's side vents are not as well positioned as no1's

Ive heard that it isnt very strong, but correct me please if I am wrong.

I fancy the carbon because (1) the look and feel (ooohh errr) and (2) its strength qualities and (3) its weight properties

Here's another one, this is by chargespeed, I think it looks better than the seibon but Im waiting a cost on this...

fibre glass is cheaper and lighter, plus easier to repair. have a word with Kev matey, sure he can sort you out.

Don't waste the money IMO, and save it for something worthwhile. They all look kinda tacky...
