I Think www.spooxcomponents.co.uk will have them ready soon, no price online at the moment

i don't think weight saving is the issue here, "LOOKS" is the only reason i guess. :wacko:

Ask Spoox... though I expect it will be another £250 to have a lump in the middle of it :wacko:

I've just got a fibre glass one with a bulge in the front to let the carbs breath. It cost £75 plus VAT and postage :)

Galv - You got contact details for the bonnet you have? And have you got a pic of it fitted?

 

Cheers

don't like the look of theat pro comp one above. It doesnt have a lip so too much air will get under it and it will prob flap like a flappy thing over 80mph. Here's mine before it was painted

 

And here fitted with the lip as per the OE bonnet

I think he means the bonnet from hodgy doesn't have the small piece between the 2 headlights. A standard 205 bonnet or automatic bonnet is not a straight line at the front. The one Hodgy has is straight and therefore it looks like a piece of the bonnet is missing.

i think ive found out who made your carbon bonnets jon,sean. although they are abit more expensive now than when you bought them.

do you think there would be enough interest to drum up a group buy?

cheers gaz

All our panels are a direct replacement for the standard panel and are all reinforced as per the factory standard.

 

to quote spoox components

 

whether this includes the cf bonnet i dont know ? 350+the dreaded sounds a bit steep but if its a direct swap then it doesnt sound so bad . any body seen one of his?

 

 

p.s. i'de be up for group buy ay decent cf bonnet

these ones arnt from spoox and they are cheaper too

although im not sure at the minute if they are a factory fit if my information is correct they can be made to factory fit but i think it will be about £80 more

got this email back from spoox:

 

hi allan - our carbon bonnets weigh less than 6 kgs each. They are

completely produced from carbon fibre - not just a skin. They bolt onto the

existing mounting points on all models.

 

£335.00 + £22.50 P&P + vat £420.06 all in

 

Regards

 

Darren
