Bonnet

Have a fibreglass bonnet up for sale. Is white and a lot lighter than a stock bonnet. It looks as though it has been made from a direct mould of a standard bonnet. This has come of the GPvR Aero I have just imported and is in excellent condition.

Was going to ask $420 for it, but after the legality comments, will take $370 (this will buy me a stock replacement). If it helps, I will be travelling to Sydney with a box trailer (empty atm) on Saturday week.

Ive been told that it may well be a Project F bonnet:

Here are a few pictures (please excuse the first one, used the wrong setting on the camera and the bonnet really needs a wash):

Oh and the bonnet pins are included.

Is that the metal frame from the old frame welded on there? How is that attached exactly?

No

No,

Thats a fibreglass frame. They must have taken a mould of an original bonnet and used that. This bonnet is completely made of fibreglass excepting for the latch and maybe where the hinges bolt on. I had to look closely at it to notice. Thought it was metal myself at first.

Shame you aren't in Vic - I'd trade you my stock white bonnet plus cash your way.

Ah well. :(
