Does anyone have any idea where i can get a carbon bonnet from. i'm stumped.

I Think www.spooxcomponents.co.uk will have them ready soon, no price online at the moment

i don't think weight saving is the issue here, "LOOKS" is the only reason i guess.

Does anyone know if the spoox one is gonna be in the AUTO style?

[Jonmurgie 2]

Ask Spoox... though I expect it will be another £250 to have a lump in the middle of it

i thought me and jonmurgie were the only ones with carbon bonnets , does anyone else have one? does anyone know how much spooxs are going to charge for a carbon one?

I've just got a fibre glass one with a bulge in the front to let the carbs breath. It cost £75 plus VAT and postage

[16v205 9]

Galv - You got contact details for the bonnet you have? And have you got a pic of it fitted?

 

Cheers

Not really the best picture to show it off, if you ask me...

[hodgy 0]

yeah i no but i aint got a better agle of a pic and its been raining so i cant take another pic but carbon is the way forward!

there is a carbon bonnet on ebay going for £399

do a search under 205 gti

[smckeown 1]

don't like the look of theat pro comp one above. It doesnt have a lip so too much air will get under it and it will prob flap like a flappy thing over 80mph. Here's mine before it was painted

 

And here fitted with the lip as per the OE bonnet

[Wes 86 1 Cars]

pics dont seem to be working for me, what do you mean by the lip?

[huckleberry 0]

I think he means the bonnet from hodgy doesn't have the small piece between the 2 headlights. A standard 205 bonnet or automatic bonnet is not a straight line at the front. The one Hodgy has is straight and therefore it looks like a piece of the bonnet is missing.

with all due respect why do peaple not say where they got the bonnets from i know jon and sean got theirs from andy kirk

but the other peaple have stated i got mine for xx amount or i have a xx bonnet

it would be nice if peaple would say where the got them from

cheers gazxx

i think ive found out who made your carbon bonnets jon,sean. although they are abit more expensive now than when you bought them.

do you think there would be enough interest to drum up a group buy?

cheers gaz

these ones arnt from spoox and they are cheaper too

although im not sure at the minute if they are a factory fit if my information is correct they can be made to factory fit but i think it will be about £80 more

got this email back from spoox:

 

hi allan - our carbon bonnets weigh less than 6 kgs each. They are

completely produced from carbon fibre - not just a skin. They bolt onto the

existing mounting points on all models.

 

£335.00 + £22.50 P&P + vat £420.06 all in

 

Regards
