drift_bear Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 What price you willing to pay!? Genuine items seem to be circa £1200-1700 Buying genuine is always going to be expensive (do luck for example) but i prefer trying to get genuine stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

listy Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Personally I'd just get a Seibon copy from Mr Whiffin mate. Half the price, and Seibon carbon products are great quality as a rule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazil Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I've had on my car both the original and now have a Seibon, looks wise they both have the same affect only you will know that its an original. Quality wise, sure the top secret had a better fit, and i like how the underside is carbon fiber unlike the seibon where its fiber glass. They weigh about the same; I would only buy the original if you are rich, otherwise its not worth it as the difference are minimal. FYI: I had to replace my bonnet because I forgotten to lock the bonnet latch and went for a drive and smashed the Top Secret Original Bonnet to bits..!

The-Plethora Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I would go for a well built copy. I know it's nice to have fancy stuff but it doesn't always mean it's going to be well made even if it is an original and honestly who can tell when it's painted anyway.

MattP Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I had a Replica one made by Seibon (Top Secret) which fitted well for a copy however there were bigger gaps down the wings then stock but over all not bad It came new from a ebay seller (2fast2cool) including delivery to my door with aero catchs included but never fitted for £600 Before and after pics below for gap reference notice a slight raise above the drivers light aswell.....

Rob_Mitchell Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Yeah im a sucka for buying genuine when i can. BUT being in the bodywork trade its so disappointing when you pay through your arse for a part and it dont fit. I know i go on about the doluck bonnet i once owned but i gave nearly £1400 for that and the fitment was shocking, sold it to jamie for £200... Seibon TS is usually pretty good but then other seibon parts i have seen look like they have been made by monkeys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 The quality of the Seibon was acceptable but I admit that shortly after I returned to the stock bonnet as the shut lines annoyed me after a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
