I suggest you buy a new car. You'll spend lots of money to fix that!

are u being serious?

why dont u go back to ur standard bonnet for now?

depending on the cracks id say u need to get a new one

not sure how easy it is to just fix it?

Fixing a carbon fibre bonnet is not impossible but would, like most people have rightfully said, be costly. Go to places like www.jetspeed.com.au or www.xxxbodykits.com and get yours fixed there - they will take time to fix and will cost alot - I would put in another 60% of the fee to get it fixed and buy a whole new one.

Good luck.

your hood flipped and flew away? and it didn't break your windscreen or damage your roof?

two things to do...

count yourself lucky that it didn't damage the rest of your car.

find the person that installed the hood and give them a swift kick in the nuts.

by CF I'm assuming its a fibreglass hood with a single layer of CF on top (because a 100% CF hood isn't repairable). Its pretty easy to fix, just need to patch up the fibreglass, cut the clearcoat back and redo it. The CF will look distorted around the crack lines, but not noticeable unless you look hard.

But probably cheaper to buy another one than repair. Ebay the cracked one and you might recoup some money.
