225 Carbon Bonnet

Discussion in 'Exterior & Bodywork' started by BlueNGT, Oct 4, 2021.

  1. Has anybody got any experience of the aftermarket Carbon bonnets available?

    Any of then any good?

    No performance gains obviously, I just like the look :sunglasses:

    Thanks

  2. I had a carbon bonnet on a Cross C.... 1.2sxi whoosh! The best carbon bonnets are the ones painted the car colour, that way you don't need to explain why your bonnet is a different colour
     
  3. Ive been looking at one for mine but at around £800 its a hell of alot of money.
     
  4. Yes considering its purely aesthetic.

    Although I spent twice that on my plastic bits for the BMW..... No regrets when done
     
  5. I was hoping more people would have looked into this!

    No chance of getting a genuine R26R bonnet these days.

    Fibreglass ones on AP Motorsport have gone from £300 to £490 exc VAT then you have to get it painted....might as well go Carbon.
     
  6. The fibreglass one doesnt interest me, especially at that price. Maybe fibreglass Carbon dipped at the same price would be a good option.
     
  7. Yeah Fibreglass is a no for me, especially at that money!!

    Is Group Buy a thing on here?
     
  8. There has been in the past but cant see 10ish people wanting a Carbon hood. Also depends on the discount.

    Have you messaged to ask?
     
  9. Not yet, I’ll drop the UK ones a message tomorrow see if they have any appetite.

    Even a discount for a couple would be good.

  10. I've been after a carbon bonnet for a long time so may well be interested if a group buy comes together.

  13. If no success with them, maybe https://spnewconcept.com/carbon-bonnet-for-Renault-Megane-2 wouldnt be such a bad idea after all. High postage costs split between us wouldnt be so bad.
     
  14. I have emailed them too.

    I think they all originate from the Eurolineas place. If you look at the images they are the same ones.
     
  15. Yeh I did notice that. Or they just googled for an image and used the same one :tearsofjoy:
     
  16. True, anything is possible :laughing:

    When you change the number of Bonnets to 3 on SP Newconcept the shipping goes to 350 Euro.
     
  17. :confounded: Hopefully better luck with the company you emailed.
     
  18. The Magna Tuning place are based in Romania. Shipping also scandalous too.

    They Offered 10% off for a multiple order.
     
  19. So £836.10 :hushed:

    Dont want to be paying that much for one.
     
  20. Same here, will see if the Eurolineas place reply.

    Magna clearly buying them from elsewhere as he says December delivery.

    He did say 10% off is available for an order of 3.

  23. Have you tried Ally @ CCF https://ccf-fibreglass.co.uk/products he's sound tbf and if there was enough interest too make a mould if he doesnt already have one. Worth a try as I'm sure hes done some carbon stuff not just fiberglass.

  26. I could ask. If not maybe Carbon dipping one of these is the next best thing, depending on price that is.
     
  27. I have also contacted this guy via Instagram.

    He makes some amazing stuff for the MK1 Focus RS.

  30. I have asked them what they thought it might cost for 4 buyers, if we had more maybe the price improves.

    This is their website https://www.carbonzilla.co.uk/ However Instagram appears ore up to date and they are doing a GR Yaris bonnet right now.

    If Group Buy are a thing on here is that run by the Mods?

  35. Is that price based on 4 of us having one?
    Any cheaper if we got more members do you think?
     
  36. I can ask but from this thread looks like there are only 4 people interested ‍♂️

    Me, you, @Si271 and @LoK28o
