dont forget that even when we do have enough people, we still have to wait for Sam to take his bonnet in so they can get a moulding.

damn i want mine now :?

And $600 will be the shipped cost to Sydney?

What colour will they be when they arrive ? By that i mean could you literally unpack and bolt-on or you would need to spray first ?


I'm very keen.

dont think thats inc postage.
and also it's fibre glass not carbon fibre, which means at best it'll come undercoated - u have to get it painted.

Damn, thats a shame.

So with postage and painting I could be up for around $1000 anyway which is the cost of a Carbon Fibre bonnet.

exactly... legal is the key word here...

you will get raped every time a cop see's your CF bonnet... first they fine you for it... then go over every inch of the car defecting...

Its not worth the extra hassle... I love the vented look of my Bonnet... but i hate the attention the cops give it... if i show them its legal, then they cant book me for it..


and im presuming it would need painting of course... you cant match the paint without the entire car...

and it wouldnt include frieght either... cause 0 freight for qlders and obviously more for other states...

I paid $1150 for my CF bonnet and have forked out over $500 in fines... just for the bonnet...

not to mention the loss of 7 or so points from the defects... and even more $$ from them defecting other things while their at it..

Oh... and a non-legal bonnet will void your insurance... i.e. you're paying your insurance for nothing... you crash and you get $0... legal = everything A. OK..

Nice Bonnet, and a good price compared to the UK where we don't even have any legality issues.

I think I read this company is ADR approved so they are legal all across Australia, hopefully this should get some people on board :D

Took me 1 hour 12mins 12 seconds counting them... haha >_> My legs went to sleep in the process. :lol: Ugh.

Damn... I just wasted an hour of my life, that I'm never going to get back.

ACCEPT ZEE COINS. (447.55 worth of coins) ... my piggy bank came up short. QQ. I could be a bastard and go to the bank and ask for 152.45 worth of coins though...
