Default Carbon / Kevlar parts

Does anyone know if you can get a carbon / kevlar bonnet, or front bumper? I know you can get WRC style, but I am talking about the standard Escort types.

Thanks

I really want to keep the standard look of the Cosworth. I think you either need to keep it completely standard looking, or go full WRC - a mungrel would just look like a tacky chav mobile lol

Haven't actually weighed the new bonnet (which is very unlike me )but i'd say it weighs about 7 - 10 kg's (very light)

Looks good Ian Will that bumper fit on the standard Escort Cosworth front bumper? Or do you need a WRC one for it to all fit. Does anybody know the weight of the standard bonnet?

Cheers

The bonnets are the same for the WRC car as the standard car...its the grill, bumper, wings that are different...the car is ultra light...kevlar/carbon doors, wings, bumper, tailgate, spoiler....just used genuine skirts but they are quick release to enable us to clean behind them....same with the rear bumper....

Kelv,

I'll p.m. you a price...the vents in the bonnet do look a bit gash ATM i will be putting some genuine ones in when I can find some.....


Strut tops are a little close so we have to modify the vents...but these bonnets will take standard vents and clips...

Ian

Kelv,

We still havn't had a proper sort but there will be another set of black mag arms available as we've just changed the ones on the grp'a' car for the latest versions.....although I thought of you when I saw Paul had his back end in the for sale section....

Ian could you PM me the price for the bonnet? I am sure I read somehere that you had to use bonnet pins on WRC bonnets though? Or is that just not true? lol
