looks crazy, would love to see a few more pics including the rest of the car. Did you weigh them both and see what youre saving?

I believe the CF one is 6kg although I didn't actually weigh it; the original - no idea of the weight but must be double that??

There are a whole load of 304 snaps posted a while back, on site already, when I gave it a good once over :)

It's only my opinion but I think it looks hideous. Will you spray it red?

No!! - red paint weighs too much, might do a carbon wrap on the rest now ;-)

Looks better in the flesh actually...

Was only kidding - wouldn't even know where to start asking about doing that here in the French countryside! , don't think that carbon fibre (inc wraps) is on the John Deere options list :lol: ; mind you a CF tractor, now there's something........

I was more interested in how the car wears the bonnet from a few different angles mate. I know how a trophy looks I've got one in the garage :p

?? - Fits and looks 100% like the bonnet you have in your garage on your T :) - no difference at all bar the weight and colour/finish; so, not sure what other photos might help you....

Sorry mate, maybe it's the pictures, but I don't like it. It just looks like you've had a bit of a smash and replaced the old bonnet with one from the scrappy.

As previously stated I'm in the "I like CF but you can have too much of a good thing" camp :wink: but that has to free up a couple of ponies which is the main thing on your car.

My thoughts precisely! And I have the original stone chipped red one to put back on later when they are a priceless collectors piece :)

PS Jamie; great scapyards down your way eh!

Haha, you know Liverpool's rep. Their scrappies are like a shopping mall. Fallen off the back of a lorry aii...

Don't mean offence, but I just dont think they look great. So long as you're happy though! :)
