Clancy2k Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) Hi. I was planning to get my bonnet resprayed to get rid of stone chips but then the thought hit me, I could get a carbon bonnet for a few pennies more. If anyone could recommend a carbon bonet for my car, that would be great.. I know I should get what i think looks best, but i'd like other peoples opinions too! Links to bonnets on online shops would be much appretiated, thanks. Edited January 4, 2012 by Clancy2k (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 sorry for the highjack but i got told that carbon fibre bonnets are illegal on the road because of the way they break if you have a crash i was told that they smash into tiny sharp bits that fly everywhere is this true are they illegal ?

Utter bollox, that would make it illegal to drive an F40 on the road, every part of the body on them are carbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOT wise anyway.. and he's never been stopped for having it on it's car. This is the first I've heard of this. I think someone is telling you porkies lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could go custom, picking mine up from Nur motorsport in a couple of days, hybrid OEM and carbon do-luck bonnet, Noel will sell the carbon humps you graft on your stock bonnet.
