HaydnH Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Oem nissan and wrap it? Haha would be cheaper Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk It would probably be about the same weight as a carbon bonnet and a lot cheaper as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 No one buys a carbon bonnet for the weight saving, it's purely cosmetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumpy000 Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 Hey sorry for lack of reply. I hate the idea of wrapping. Especially as no where round me do any good. However may look into it. But as above its purely cosmetic as I have other carbon around car and need new bonnet due to signs of rust coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie94gts Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Isn't the standard bonnet aluminium, and therefore not going to rust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHEZZA Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) Isn't the standard bonnet aluminium, and therefore not going to rust? That is true, but like alloy wheels when moisture gets in and trapped it will cause a reaction and start to corrode. Usually on the front lip where the rubber seal is. Mine started to do this so the perfect excuse for a HR bonnet. Edited August 4, 2016 by SHEZZA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cascade88 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I have a Seibon carbon bulge bonnet I may be advertising soon. It's structurally sound but the lacquer has seen better days so would need stripping back and re-coating to be 100%, let me know if you're interested and I'll send more info etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumpy000 Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 Many thanks but decided on the OEM one from nissan. Just gotta decide what colour. GM like the car or carbon/black to go with other bits. Do me a huge favour peeps. Have a look at my build below and see if u think it would work?!

Jetpilot Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Same colour as the car or it looks like you have just bought it from a breakers and cant afford to spray imho, only works if its carbon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
