Not doing it for looks just weight saving for my track day car.

I know fiberglass ones are cheaper but the quality / fit on some aren't too good.

Cheers.

Gus has one on his from performance trim ,phil at carbon delight did a lot of work on it to get it "right",one of the things was the vent holes above the heater were not cut out ,looking on their site the one in the pic is not cut out either

i have a fibre glass bonnet (pug 205) but does it really matter if it's a track car?

mine are pretty good, but i had them painted and the colour match is not so good ( no paint code for car)

but again, its a track car, so not really worried

i could get a carbon bonnet for mine, but 100'ish compared to 600, is hardly worth it
