my new bonnet

[MARTIN R]

Looks good mate

[Suprachargedtt]

Looks awsome mate

[JohnA]

The shape should be functional as well (in the summer)

How much do they go for?

[Ian W]

is it just me or what's the point in painting a c/f bonnet? think you should leave it as it is mate, very nice indeed!

 

i thought the stock bonnet was pretty light anyway (although obviously not as light as c/f!).

[supRo]

Assuming it's a Seibon Replica, the quality is very good. As long as you make sure it's been shut properly, you don't need additional bonnet pins/latches which look poo in my opinion.

I've tested my Seibon top secret bonnet to 160 leptons and a friend of this forum over in the states has tested to 190 leptons - no problems without bonnet pins.

i was down there the other week, your car was looking dam fine matey, has i been re sprayed recently??.

bonnet looks sweet.

 

 

[JohnA]

If it looks robust and well-made from upclose, I might even consider one.

 

(Even more surpising for anyone familiar with my scepticism* with aftermarket parts)

 

 

*to put it mildly

[samsupra37]

sTILL DON'T LIKE IT UNLESS YOU SPRAY IT BLACK....AND THATS MY FINAL WORD ON THE MATTER.....(didn't mean to do it in block caps sorry!!)

 

P.S that red bit under the bonnet must go chrome ..... no arguments now!!

[terribleturner]

Wayne, but arn't the Stout and TS bonnets prone to leaking lots of water in. So any polished work will get ruined?? Looks like you'll have to get a new angle on the trader front

[BURT]

nice job fella... you spending some dosh i see... well worth it matey;)

[Supra-Dupra]

If I'm honest I'm not a fan of the carbon fibre with black, it just looks a little out of place. Maybe the photo's aren't doing it justice. I'd get it painted

I find it functional too - BPU and FMIC causes more heat and I noticed how much heat was able to escape with the vents

James, My car is not garaged and I've been through thunderstorms and snow! No problems with TS bonnet.

[Ian R]

Wayne i've just decided this would look better on a silver supe and you should give it to me

Lovley bonnet

Yeah Ro, but you don't have the bling under the bonnet that will go funny when water touches it. They're fine if you have none polished bits and bobs (oo errr)

and James you should no better, my car never goes out in the rain:p

Oh yeah, forgot.

[RobSheffield]

Looks nice wayne.

 

black and carbon does look good, however, may i urge you to fit some pins 'just in case'

[supradibbs]

yeah going to see what it holds like i had pins on my ab-flug and to be honest it never needed them just used to make sure gave it a little tug when ever i had opened it

[supRo]

Hey I've got some polished bits! But water doesn't seem to get in anywhere apart from few splashes on the intake manifold ic pipe.

I agree with Supradibs with regards to the quality and fitment of these bonnets from Knight-racer.co.uk as I had my TRD carbon bonnet fitted and supplied from them. I am also undecided yet whether to spray the bonnet to match the car but when the sun shines on it it does look nice and the weave of the carbon is especially good. It is also a much darker carbon fibre and does not look to out of place on a black car and I am also going to fit some bonnet pins just to make sure it stays down under those high speeds as it is very light in weight.

[knight-racer]

Nice one Neo! I agree too because i also have a black car with a carbon bonnet! IMO... Subtle AND stylish!

[TT-DEK]

Im there tomoz Wayne!. Can i borrow your wheels for a couple of weeks m8! hee hee!!
