5th gen fibreglass bonnet PRICE DROPPED AGAIN

Post by **newkid** » Sat Oct 17, 2015 5:38 pm

Fibreglass bonnet removed from the 5th gen, has had some repair work done so willing to listen to offers on this as totally unsure what to put it up for, repairs have been done well enough strength wise just not the best looking. Would prefer collection or you can arrange a courier yourself but I will be taking no responsibility. I'll let the pics do the talking.

Will need sanded back and painted in colour of your car or matt blacked.

i though this was a really good fit when i saw it in the flesh so to speak

felt really strong and solid not like my 4th gen carbon one which feels pretty flimsy in comparison.

are you sure thats not just fibreglass ? i dont think laquer coming off carbon or kevlar would look like that??

Thats why i took a pic through the hole for the pin. Looks like kevlar to me through that. Bonnets been painted at some point id presume during repairs an then someone wrapped it. The wrap looked crap so i removed it. Ill try get a better pic of through the bonnet pin hole when im back home.

That's woven fiber glass mate, kevlar would have cost many pounds amd probably wouldn't have been grey gel coated.

yeah i would say its glassfibre just checked my glassfibre bonnet and it looks like that but its deffo stronger than the carbon one albeit heavier still worth the money
