<-----ive got this one, the previous owner said he got it from unique auto sports, its got the big centre vent and the 2 smaller vents either side, one ontop of the turbo (which after abit of a hard drive, vents ALOT of hot air out) and another on the other side

suits me fine coz it came with the car hehehe

Sounds like the same CF bonnet i'm looking for, something more on the plain side.

+1 id also be interested in a simple bonnet, with maybe 1 or 2 subtle vents. maybe if anyone knows a custom place we could get a group buy going

I wish we could design a carbon bonnet that suits everyone :D

We can always get a carbon bonnet made that suits your style however there must be a minimum order of around 10.

Sounds like a group buy what do you think boys? I'm keen let's get the numbers!! :rofl:

im in pending the design.

all i really want is something that will allow through ventilation. so some sort of reverse facing vents mid way up the bonnet. im not to fussed about the final design as long as its not flashy or attention drawing.

We have just received stock of these S2 bonnets. We trial fitted it onto our demo car and it fits very well and makes the front look very aggressive, no to mention providing extra cooling, especially over the top of your ignition system where it is needed most.

I think in all the excitement we forgot to take a picture before we took it off :(

Carbon $749, FRP $499

Comes with all the required mounting hardware too. Bolt threads are fibreglassed in and line up perfectly with the factory bonnet hinge.

Now obviously these aren't ADR approved? (not that i really care)

Would you have to use bonnet pins with it or is the part where the lock mechanism goes pretty tuff?

Also with the carbon fibre one, is it carbon fibre on the inside of it aswell?

Sorry for all the questions but this is probably one of only a handful of bonnets that i have seen that i actually like for the series II.

No these are not ADR approved, I have been trying to speak to someone about what is required for ADR approval but am yet to find anyone that can give me a clear answer or the right person to speak to. Can anyone help me here?

The bonnet catch area is strengthened however, pins are always a good idea. If you do want pins, my preference would be to get AeroCatch.

These do have a FRP skeleton with a Carbon top layer. We can certainly make you one that is made totally from carbon fibre, although expect to pay a LOT more.

I'm more than happy to answer your questions.

PSI do you have any bonnets for series 1 GTR 33

Not at this stage, there just hasn't been enough interest thus far.

Can you please though it back on the demo car for a picture please and about how high do those vents stick up?

And the bonnet pins you refered to are they flush mounted, do they have extra locks the ones I've seen are flush and have locks in each bonnet

pin oh how much for the bonnet pins too?

Just noticed your in melbourne any chance I could pop round and check it out for myself?

Yes the bonnet pins I were talking about are flush fitting and have an optional lock, unfortunately we don't sell them though

Here's a pic:

I'll see what I can do about a picture on our demo car for you. Please PM me about pick-up.

      It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.

      I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility

      I'd say one thing that may make you sell is the same reason the guy with the hard top roof sold his. He got old, and his back was giving him too much grief stopping him getting in and out... Old guy said he was 73! He looked and sounded younger than 73 to me! Or maybe I'm just aligning with old people more...

      Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something
