Carbon Fibre bonnets

[Kandy_man]

Just a question for anyone who has one or has seen one up close, on the underside of them, do they have a bonnet latch at the front moulded in??

Bit of a confusing question, i know... but anyone who has a pic or info (ie: bosko ya slacka) would be much appriciated :)

I think you'll find you just fit your standard bonnet latch to the new bonnet.

How is it worth a "yellow licky"?

Hrmm well i could prob get a yellow for most of the stuff on my car so one more thing cant go astray...plus car only gets driven 1 week out of every 3 so..... :)

But will have to pop up there and have a look....bit of a drive, but will have to go see.

Our carbon bonnets have the latch on them already
they should just bolt straight up, with minimal modifications required

as for road use, you will need to obtain a permit for it.
Be aware, if your car was made after 1996 you may have a problem

It needs a permit (ie it yellow licky-able without one) cos although carbon fibre is very strong, with the way it is installed on bonnets, ie sheets horizontal it is weak and is prone to explode into millions of tini glass like shards when impact against other cars, or walls trees etc
:) they look fuckin mint but theres always that risk of getting bent over by the cops

Thanks for all the info guys.......... and seeings the car is a 98...looks like it may not be worth the risk :cry:
