what kinda set up you running?

If you still have a top mount its probably worth just picking up an ally bonnet from a cab.

Other than that try rotaryart. Google it, im not sure of the website

umm.. jus keep an eye out on the for sale thread.

tho i had a front mount and stock hood. air still flows under the car so is still ok.

(quite like that stype hood)

otherwise its a case of import.

rotaryart do a cover to cover the front hole in stock hood but cost like 100 which i think is bit ott

hope this helps.. tho think i jus been jibbering 1/2 the time lol

I have looked into that matey, but thought bonnet £50 delivery or petrol to pick it up £50 paying for louvres or modification £100 then getting it sprayed ££££ i reackon around £250 and its still going to be a heavy steel bonnet.

There must be fibreglass bonnets out there around £300 surely?

I am thinking if I can get a aluminium one and then cut away some of the ribbing underneath that might be ok, although I am looking at getting a uprated uprated top mount now for the T88 lol so I can use the OEM bonnet :Giggle

You might even be able to just make your own with an EGI bonnet, some triangle chocks of wood and lots of fibreglass lol
