are carbon fibre bonnets available for fiesta turbos?
Im looking for a rust free fiesta turbo bonnet, but they seem to be few and far between, so i am thinking of a carbon bonnet with the vent holes, i know luke has one on his mk3 is it a wrap or a carbon fibre bonnet?, but i see his has no vents, which is no-good, does anyone know a place that sells them?
yeah ive justa had a quick look on there and might get the door cards and rear trim panels in the carbon fibre but they do say on there that if you have any strict specs. then theyll suit your needs. must be able to get them with the vents.
was thinking about a bodyshop etc cutting them into the bonnet but wasnt sure if it would be possible without ruining the bonnet
Mark it out properly, tape up the bonnet and use a new tungsten carbide grit blade, no reason why it shouldnt come out ok. There's a small lip on the underside of the vents which can be used to mount it to the bonnet. I'll probably do my carbon bonnet at some point. Most likely I'll cut out a hole in some ally or steel to get the hole size spot on, then transfer that to the bonnet. Any tidying up or enlarging can be done with a dremmel.
