I would be well up for this. I messaged mike rainbird about getting some carbon vents, but he said he only does cossie ones. If there was a group buy to get some bonnets, count me in!

If it was to go ahead, would it be worth getting louvres towards the back to help remove the need for bonnet lifters?

OK. I found out the bonnets at amber performance are actually for the focus rs

I spoke to my mate and he said that the magazine ads have it down as rs turbo. Its actually a missprint so ignore ambers advert!!!



I would be up for the Carbon Bonnet and possibly a 90 Spec carbon spoiler depending on price.

Would it work on the the more people that order one the lower the price gets?

Lets us know...
