hodge Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 hey chaps n chapetts In abit of a pickle on bonnet selection for the project. Was going to go for a carbon trd but im unsure now. I quite like the bonnet on that kdw blokies supra or whatever his name is the 1 with 6 gazillion hp. Would you mind posting some bonnet pics of different aftermarket bonnets carbon or not really. Thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 My fave aftermarket is Top Secret, KR do a full carbon one at 6kgs, not many aftermarket bonnets come in lighter than stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I'll never buy an aftermarket bonnet again. The last Supra I had scared the shit out of me because at over 100mph it bowed and there was over 2 inches of gap between the bonnet and the wing. That's WITH bonnet pins.

Are they avaliable in carbon. Would you mind sticking a pic up from the top of the bonnet looking down so i can see the size of the vents. Cheers fella.

AndyT Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Do Luck or UK vented. Those are the two that are actually engineered to draw the heat out of the engine bay. In particular the Do Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
