A m8 of mine just got his escort on the road..and he was wondering if he can get a carbon finish bonnet fore it...Enyone know where he can get that??

 

I asked about this a while ago and Dan@Rapid ford is your man i think he needs 5 people to buy 1 each at £1000 each i wanted one but have now opted to go for a carbon kevlar one but the finish will not be like the ones dan may or may not be having made

hope that helps

 

I would absolutly love a Carbon bonnet, but £1k is just far to steep.
but at the same time im not disputing that hey are not worth the cash for the amount of work needed to produce.

Just £1k for a bonnet... hmmmmm.

If they were half the price, then i would jump on it straight away.

 

hmm..i have a guy in norway that can make them fore about 500£ but he also needs 5 or 6 pp to order first..

 

Have you any pics of the quality if his work?

thanks

 

yea..its this guy http://www.hpcomposites.no/

 

some nice work on that site that little car shell looks mental

also see tailgates on there would he make them aswell?

 

he has made som fore audi`s i think...il ring him on monday and get som more info..and il post it here

 

Cool

 

i think if the quality was good and the price was reasonable then there would be a good amont of interest in them.

i always said i wanted one but have now moved away from the idea with a new plan - but saying that, it would depend on price if they could be fabricated

 

Whats the new plan?

 

Nosey Bugger..... ill PM you

 

if i had a carbon bonnet id have to paint it otherwise it will be too chavy.

im a proper carbon nut, every carbon item ive seen for the escos is tastefull but a carbon bonnet on a escort cosworth unpainted will be a bit chav civic style imo

 

for yourself then, you would do alot worse than to contact Greg at Xsport Racing, hes made me a carbon kevlar bonet in the past.

if all you want is a carbon bonnet purely to weight save then you may aswell go this route and save yourself a small fortune, as they will need to be painted anyway!
