Sorry no .but will do one later out of ally, if i find anything will post a link

 

[speedy]

do you know how to take the strenthing bits of the bonnet to make it single skin?

 

[MasterAuron]

Aren't they just spot-welded on? Can't say I've actually ever looked, less hassle just buying a single skin fibreglass or CF bonnet and going bonnet pins.

queit possible ive heard they are but when i look at mine i cant find any so who knows. i soppose getting a firbeglass or cf bonnet would save hasle but they just cost to much when i can spent that mone on improving other parts of the car

I'd go for a fibreglass bonnet too :bigsmile:

Some fiber glass can be heaver than metal, so if into weight loss then keep a record to compare differnt items.

 

[lutonmatt]

i would not bother and go with c/f

 

[speedy]

also would i need bonnet pins and would this increase my insurance

 

[Loz]

My bonnet is fibreglass & is fixed down with fairing fastners, bonnet pins might increase your insurance but then, changing your bonnet from standard will also do the same.

 

[speedy]

it will be the santard bonnet but with out the strengthed bit on it so that means i will need bonnet pins. also how do you stop people nicking it when its parked up.(the bonnet i mean)

 

[pikey motorsports]

im not being funny, but i cant remember the last time i heard of someone stealing a cordoba bonnet.... yet alone a butchered standard one!

People will nick anything these days.

If youwant to do it another way. Un-tack the spot welds of the 2 layers of bonnet and just use the strengthning part and fit a carbon panel over the top. Strong and light

the ting is though carbon fibre is really expensive. if i was doing racing then i would but for a every day car theres no much point.

I would love carbon but it is too expensive just for mucking around.
