FTO AUSTRALIA

i called the RTA in canberra (cus they handel all this stuff, not the police they just hand out htings that make you go to the rta for a test) and they told me it wasnt legal in the ACT

as for cost.... i gotta consider the cost of a woping fine for a cf one + it wont cost 300 to paint a bonnet!

Like Slither said, check with your insurance company first, as they only need the smallest reason to void your coverage and not pay out

Hey Steve, what other styles can UAS do besides the AB and EVO 5 bonnets?

I'm interested in a FPR one but always fancied the Creative Sports look.

Can this be done?

Thanks.

i think from memory steve said UAS can get an engineer's cert for the cf bonnet?

oh and just an idea, do you think we can get the stock bonnet laminated in CF? im guessing it would be substantially cheaper as you wont need to worry bout the mold, and u would only need 1 or 2 layers of CF on top of the bonnet.. im sure it would be an option for those who are worried about getting a defect (and only want the CF aesthetically... (like me)
i understand it defeats the purpose of weight reduction though

last i herd it was stilll like 1/2 to 3/4 whole job price?

Fibreglass bonnets are just as illegal as CF, i've checked with Vicroads...

hey guys
to give u an idea about the price for the different styles of cf bonnets
in SRS, they sell cf bonnet OEM style for 1.1k
for evo style its 1.2k
so basically...i would pay an extra 100 for the evo style
i mean...it does make it look a bit more hard core
afterall i'm sure al of us are not really buying cf for "weight reduction"
not like we're hardcore racers
we use it for style and the "rareness(if there is such a word"
its a nice cosmetic for your second wife
cheers !

if i paid for it now, reckon you can bring it down with you when you come to our charity BBQ?

So mikey if we can get an engineer's cert then will vicroads still list it as illegal?? plus from what ive read u'd have to get the car inspected by vicroads for it to b roadworthy anyway

On a side note i contacted my insurance company (just cars) about insuring the cf bonnet and they said that it would not be covered but if i did get one i would have to let them know as it would still b listed as a modification on my insurance, so if u don't tell your insurance company then chances r u wont get a pay out if u have an accident!!

Remember if the bonnet is not covered by insurance, that they don't have to pay out on any damage caused by that bonnet. This gives them a point to argue as they could say that the bonnet did not crumple like a normal bonnet would and not pay out or if they do, then pay out a greatly reduced amount.

let me check with the rta and then ill tell ou if i am in or not

cant swing it dont wanta risk it
bugg! thing looks so sexy...

when do i pay stephen?
just want to know the deadline as i'm forking out a big lump of money to fix the gearbox
thanks
so you can get engin cert for the cf yea?

any news about the price for the fiberglass one.

i told u guys
i called UAS before they said fibreglass is 750

i will start collecting money next week say for 1-2 weeks and then i'll make all the arrangements with UAS for shipping them out...

you will receive an email from me.

hey stephen is till havent receive email from u to say where to pay yet for them?
an di got a question
with the evo style
would water drop onto the engine or get into the filter therefore making the engine sucking in water?

I wouldnt mind a fiber evo one, but do they come with factory latches like the cf ?

If so how much ?
