steely Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Hello guys. sorry i'm new, so hope i'm not sounding too much like a plum. but how hard is it to get a uk spec twin turbo bonnet?? do people make copies of them? reason i ask is i need to change the bonnet on me car because while it was sat off the road for 2 years, kids threw a rock on it and i'd rather not fill it and respray it. in other words its a good excuse to get one... well depending on money. it they are crazy money i'll just put the cash into something the car really needs for now and forget the bonnet idea:blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 You can buy the scoop all in from toyota then fit it to any stock bonnet. Might be harder to find a uk bonnet complete and it will cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty71 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Ask Keron on here if he has one or put a wanted in the for sale section, depends how much you want too pay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I would have thought it might be hard to find a spare UK one. Alternatively, you could buy a J -Spec bonnet second hand and cut out and fit your UK scoop to it. All the bonnets to my knowledge are the same, except for the hole. Plenty of people have done this on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toyota dealers tend to be quite useless when it comes to supra's (do a search for steve manley) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobD Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 There's a place near mine that makes fibre glass and carbon fibre body parts, they'd just need a copy of what you'd want done, would be a long process though, i'm thinking about sending my bonnet off to get copied as i know its popular ( uk spec ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 (edited) There's a place near mine that makes fibre glass and carbon fibre body parts, they'd just need a copy of what you'd want done, would be a long process though, i'm thinking about sending my bonnet off to get copied as i know its popular ( uk spec ) One of the greatest advantages of a UK spec vent over the other range of fibreglass bonnets is that you retain the rigidity of the metal stock one, so you don't get flappy front syndrome at high speeds. You'd lose that, so I don't think you'll sell many of those once people realise how much of a difference it makes.

Tee from China Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Alternatively, you could buy a J -Spec bonnet second hand and cut out and fit your UK scoop to it. As far as I understand he hasn't actually got one to fit. If you had said fit 'a' UK scoop that would have made sense:innocent: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's based at Inchcape Toyota in near Oxford but can post parts to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
