Ally bonnets

Having seen the wanted thread etc, its got me thinking.

What cars actually came with ally bonnets?

For example:-

My 1989 Egi had a steel bonnet.
My 1988 Egi had an Aluminium bonnet.
My 1991 Turbo II had a steel bonnet.

UK Cabriolets had aluminium bonnets, I think the JDM ones do too. Infini IV\'s had ally bonnets to I think?

So, whats the pattern here? I was very suprised to find my \'88 egi had an ally bonnet.... :wave :xconfused

I thought most of the EGis had ally bonnets?

i dont think so

that would be useful if they did

when i go FMIC a EGI ally bonnet would look superb on the car

REALLY ?

brett - what is the bonnet on Lynn\'s red EGI made off

Yep EGI\'s are alloy but if you want the T2 scoop you need to find a vert bonnet, there always seems to be cars breaking on e-bay you just need to be quick of the mark when they show up.

They are getting very rare!! i sold one a few months ago for over Â£400 on E-bay.

Brett · February 02, 2007, 01:36:59 PM

Er... I think Lynn\'s is steel.
Maybe its the earlier Egis that had Ally bonnents?

antnicuk · February 02, 2007, 02:40:31 PM

Â£400 hundred quid, thats outragous!!! i passed on one about a years ago in Red for Â£80. Hang on while i just kick myself!

grinder · February 02, 2007, 02:57:26 PM

can i kick you aswell !! LOL

so i need a EGI bonnet then thats alloy - coooooooooool

sadgoth · February 02, 2007, 03:03:49 PM

oi! Stop that, I want one first grrr, I have already gone FMIC so I should get first dibs!

grinder · February 02, 2007, 03:08:38 PM

ha ha ha failing that - i might bebale to get a T2 alloy bonnet that needs some work

cut out scoop - weld in plate - filler - smooth - spray - one alloy non scoop bonnet

- might even add some reverse vents for the removal of hot air

antnicuk · February 02, 2007, 07:17:27 PM

why would anyone want to remove the scoop? i have a front mount but still want a scoop

grinder · February 02, 2007, 08:47:20 PM

is there a reason for having it when you run a FMIC ?
