carbon bonnets.

[danzie18]

hi,just wanted your opinions on carbon fibre bonnets, yes or no?

 

[hoolio]

If you can find one that fits. Not sure about the look of big bits of CF, have you seen the pictures of that CF Veyron, nasty.

the bonnet on my inferno, it lines up pretty well, what you think?

 

[hoolio]

it lines up pretty well,

Better than the original in many cases

really as i wasnt too sure, from the side it looks a bit weird as too much orange compared to the bonnet. bonnet is off atm as car is in the garage being repaired as got hit by a tractor. am driving around in a bright red skoda fabia!!!! wats that bout cf veyron?

Well nasty is probably not the right word but its just too much.

i've yet to see ( in person) a CF bonnet that fit well...
the 1st run of Mk1 172s had a aluminium bonnet, shame its the wrong shape...

year your right about the cf bugatti, bit too much carbon,like the cf zonda, i dont think black paintwork goes with carbon fibre.

Only worth it for an all out track car IMO

I put one on my last track car, took the inner frame out too so it was just a carbon skin to cover the engine bay, had no heater etc.

Bit out of place on a 182, unless it's that sort of car with a wrc style cage...
