Hey everyone,

I'm after a Carbon Fibre bonet for my GTO.

Does anyone know where I could possibly get one made?

Nobody sells them for GTOs, due to the car being fairly rare.

Any info in this thread or PM will be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Ali.

yeah i have a custom carbon bonnet....awesome quality!!!

be prepared to pay a fair bit though, if it the first one they make, they have to create a mould etc etc, which you'll probably be volunteering your bonnet for...

but if anyone can i'd reckon it'd be them

Tried Freddy. No luck. Still searching.

The CC guy in Brisbane is after about $2200, before delivery.

Freddy said probably $1200 but can't do it for a few months.

freddy may take a while, but he makes some good stuff.

i got him to make a CF bonnet for my car (which took aaaages, but thats due to unforseen issues that he ran into, and then I had quite a few dramas aswell, so wasnt entirely his fault).

but i picked up my bonnet over the weekend, and the quality of his workmanship was perfect. i had a few specific requests for my bonnet, and he made it up to my specs.

being a GTO, he will definitely need ur bonnet to make the mould which may take a whole week (maybe more depending how busy he is). anyway, good luck!

      Using Trickle Chargers

      I have two German Shepherds that like to bite things that are in places they shouldn't be. Plus the cars/batteries on chargers are inside a locked garage, inside that fully fenced and locked yard. If you can get the car out, you can have it, as I'll be having one hell of a laugh at your expense.

      Looks like they changed the wording in the manual for the new model. I have a different model. Mine is CC1206. Not CC1206-XLI. Mine doesn't support lithium at all. I can't find the manual for my model online and they don't list the model on the Century website anymore either. In my manual it says what I quoted and that they recommend to not leave it on 🤷‍♂️ Sounds like you'd be fine with this one now.

      Thanks for actually answering every single point! I noticed the date only after posting. And yes, looks like things have changed a little bit since then. FWIW, looks like Government Gazette No 253 has the current emissions test procedure. Sounds pretty reasonable altogether. One thing I learned from this is that it's possible to check whether a catalyst does any work by measuring the temperature. Catalyst outlet temp is at least 40°C higher than inlet temps if there is a reaction happening. I'd be curious to check this on mine but don't have a thermometer. Because purely going by smell it can't be doing much. Personally I'd be okay to pay for the test as long as it's within reason. My main concern would be to lose my rego because it definitely wouldn't pass the test in its current state. I'll see if I can do a bit more digging and see what's involved in doing this nowadays.   To be fair I don't think it's stopping many people from doing the modifications anyway. It just puts a barrier up to doing things right

      Research research research, and tackle the important things first, like the rust, because as a wise old hippie and some crazy horses once said "rust never sleeps" Nothing good comes easy and fast, and nothing that comes easy and fast is typically good
