Yes its carbon, and you can paint carbon, but im sure it wont look as smooth as a metal one, but presumabley he has it to be light and wont care what it looks like once its painted?

Or does he have it intending to leave it black and look like a chav?

Sorry, but I have to agree.

Doesnt look right in carbon on a white car.

BMW only just about get away with it on their CSL M3s etc on the roof, but even they only look right on dark coloured cars IMHO.

10 out of 10 for effort though

Nice enough barring the shopping list on the bonnet, and the bonnet itself.

Car fanatics beat one off over unpainted carbon, every else thinks you a cunt who cant afford to paint your bonnet.

If you have to explain why summats cool, its not, and barring car geeks, you WOULD need to explain why your bonnets so gay.

Lmao he would have people doing that before he put the bonnet on.

As said i think unpainted carbon bonnets just doesnt look right, can get away with it on a black/Dark cars but thats about it for me.
