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 Thanks
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
Yes considering its purely aesthetic. Although I spent twice that on my plastic bits for the BMW..... No regrets when done
Which have you been looking at? Only ones I could find are these https://www.magnatuning.com/en/product/11532/Renault-Megane-MK2-R26R-Look-Carbon-Fiber-Hood https://spnewconcept.com/carbon-bonnet-for-Renault-Megane-2 https://www.dcperformance.co.uk/uprated/carbon-fibre-body-parts/renault/megane.html
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.
The fibreglass one doesnt interest me, especially at that price. Maybe fibreglass Carbon dipped at the same price would be a good option.
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?
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.
I've been after a carbon bonnet for a long time so may well be interested if a group buy comes together. Sent from my SM-N986B using Tapatalk
Had a reply from DC Performance as follows: Sorry, these are not currently available as since Brexit we have not found a commercially viable way to import these. Kind regards, Dan Bit more searching online and it looks like they originate from a company in Spain here: https://www.eurolineas-personales.c...t-renault-megane-2003-without-air-intake.html I have emailed them direct.
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.
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.
True, anything is possible When you change the number of Bonnets to 3 on SP Newconcept the shipping goes to 350 Euro.
The Magna Tuning place are based in Romania. Shipping also scandalous too. They Offered 10% off for a multiple order.
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.
I have not heard back from the Company in Valencia area. These are the details I sent the email are in the image…
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.
I could ask. If not maybe Carbon dipping one of these is the next best thing, depending on price that is.
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?
I can ask but from this thread looks like there are only 4 people interested ♂️ Me, you, @Si271 and @LoK28o
