I was looking into getting a carbon bonnet for my S2, but they are seem to be crazy expensive.

I got quoted $2500 or fibre reinforced plasic for $1500.

Anyone seen any better deals??

thats what the dolphin site appears to say.

"DOLPHIN carbon bonnet series (M35 stay Zia / C34 stay Zia / Y11 wing road) cancels release now"

mines been sprayed, but that model looks exactly like it... does it mean mine IS carbon fibre?

i was gonna try and get new bonnet pins as mine are a tad corroded and very squeaky.

i might try and contact them for a spare part..

How heavy is it when you lift it?

If it is CF, and I suspect it is, it should be pretty damn light

yeah it weighs next to nothing compared to a normal bonnet. even has a tendancy to rattle abit at 110 if its windy / turbulent.

i can see what the bonnet pins are there for

i wonder why mine was sprayed.. i happen to like that nice carbon fibre look of the other one..

i presume if i stripped it i could get that look ?

I think it looks better black... It is your car though.

BUT just remember that CF bonnets a cop & defect magnet in VIC. Even you have a RWC. (something about a lack of crumple zones in CF bonnets)

At least you stand a bit more of a chance if it is the same colour as the rest of your car.

Am I right in thinking that carbon fibre bonnets = defect in QLD as well?

if i have any trouble in VIC cos of all my mods and get canaries. (none so far and i hope it stays that way), i'll take it to TAS.

get it Rego'd (with a custom plate) (they register pretty much anything there) and then drive it back (my parents live therE )

problem solved.!?? anyone thought about doing that?? haha

[RBPOWA-(TJ)]

just show them your rego paper, and tell them to speak to the car yard in question. its there doing getting it a 'RWC' which they did.

blitsbodykits sell vented hoods. ADR approved

[atomaly]

spoke to guys a RE-customs when i got my dyno done last night!

the hood in question is fibreglass with a carbon fibre top layer (which is normal apparently)
