Brand New Carbon Fibre Bonnet For Sale

[GTRKat]

I believe if it's ADR approved they don't give a shit but if it's not it's defectable... Problem is that 90% of them are not ADR approved.

From what i remember when i was originally getting my car rego'd there is a few points they defect it for.

First is whether it is secure and wont fly up while you are going 110 on a highway, lose control and plow into the nearest bus full of school children.

Then there is the issue of the hindges and how it attaches to the car. On the R32 GTR hindges there is little hooks the prevent the whole hindge breaking allowing the whole bonnet to spear through the window impailing...umm....but that may vary depending on the make/model of the car.

Then there is the strength of the bonnet so if u did hit someone they would rollover or off the bonnet rather then it breaking and then getting cut up by the carbon/fibre glass shards or even the bonnet giving way so their limbs can easily access all those spinning gears and belts.

Next is something about the crumple zone and how fibre glass doesnt crumple but fractures, so even in a minor front end a bit could fly off and slice a bystander.

Finally because Commodores and Falcons dont look that great with Carbon fibre bonnets ><

But if you get it engineered and have it certified they cant touch it with a grain of salt, as they defected the salt for being too salty...

Still would buy it if I had the extra cash though.
