BillyZed Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Hi guys I'm after a new bonnet and wondered if I got a lightweight carbon fibre one it could be painted? Like colour coded as don't like the carbon look The reason I'm bringing it up is a new HR unpainted bonnet would cost more than a vented carbon one Any help would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked and the carbon ones aren't as cheap as I thought! Only one on eBay which is like £280! The rest are like £500 haha never mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Its also not that much lighter than stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Carbon bonnets aren't always lighter either. The stock aluminium ones are quiet light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martek Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 This one might be what you are after, maybe worth sticking an offer in?
