was thinking about getting a carbon fibre bonnet for my ERST as its sooo heavy.

wheres the best place to get one from?

SaqsS2turbo

me to just want a rough price

turbo

Amber Performance do them £ 388.

HybridBly

no offence intended but isnt having a fairly heavy bonnet a good thing? ie you have a front wheel drive car, and £388

SaqsS2turbo

true that

Maxxeh

would it not make the car lighter?

HybridBly

true it would lighten things alittle, but you'd gain wheelspin wouldn't it be better to lose the back seat? each to there own lol thought id mention it

i would strip her out as mentioned and keep the weight over the front. The best thing about doing this is its free and save lots of weight
Carbon bonnet is a bit over kill in my eyes especially the price of it

Pointless, unless you want it for function....


Ie: Weight loss/ Quick release.

I can make from fiber glass for about 50 pound and carbon for about 180

I would be interested in a carbon one to, as said above the quality has to be there for me to part with some cash though.

There was a thread very similar not so long ago, think stuart collins needed 6 or so people to commit to get some produced. I'll see if I can find it.

I'm investigating this very subject.
So far I've only found one place (Amber do NOT do them) and it's going to cost close to 800 and I've got to supply a good (ie new) bonnet for the mould.
I could be wrong and someone maybe knocking them out for less than
500 but I've not found them.

turbo

amber have now said they dont do these bonnets & its was a printing error thought it was too good to be true

Turbo-Beal

I think jamsport sell them. Someone must sell them as i have seen a couple about

PM'd on Friday

Bakster

I think we can make something like survey, and the question will be How many people want to buy Carbon bonnet to mk4 rs turbo When I know that I can ask for better price

PeterD

do it mate

Wont fuck the weight distribution really, if you pulling of at a speed which is gonna spin the wheels then most usefull weight is already shifted behind the front axel anyway
