I have a vented Carbon Fibre Bonnet on my R33.
Lightweight, apparently lets hot air out (dont have a temp system to test) and has a cut out above the air filter to let cold air in. This vent is very amusing in heavy rain and causes to the car to run with a cough-fire.

You can see it flexing and flapping at high speeds though.. need some bonnet pins.

Hi Deggers and welcome to TorqueCars. I've heard that quite a few people needed to get bonnet pins.

Sadly your pic wasn't showing, can you check the link for us? (As you have less than 10 posts your post was held in the moderation queue as it contained a picture link.)

I see it now, it looks nice. I see the Ring sticker on the bumper, have you ever taken this car to the ring? What time did you get?

It goes to the ring every year mate. Although this year outside brussells, on the way there, piston no.1 decided to snap its rod and throw it out of the side of the block for no apparent reason! Cruising at 80mph on the R0. So we had a hire car for the rest of the weekend.

We are going to Spa and back to the Ring next year and will be organising a group trip booking once we finalise dates.

Times - one thing I dont do it time myself. Dont fancy knowing on the way round and pushing it too hard. I have a video on youtube though. Also some drag vids I put on there of us at SCR last weekend.

2007 - Ring Vid, quite amusing commentary. I sound like a tw4t, but hey ho.
