Group buy on carbon scoot bonnet cheap as chips

[monkeyboy]

Hi I don’t know if anyone as done this before but I have managed to get a discount on a group buy for 5 people, so iam looking for 4 people:)  see if they want to grab a bargain carbon bonnet.

Carbon Styled one piece UV Protected, high gloss bonnet. The Edges are rolled carbon and the fit is really good. How do I know this you ask, well my mate has got one on his FD from the same guy but he paid about £900 for his.

So if I get for others we can have them for £600 each, that’s all import duty, handling fees ect. all you will have to pay is p&p from my house.

I am doing this so I can simply get the bonnet I want as cheap as I can. £600 is half the cost I can find over here.

Will have them in about 3 weeks

Let me know

its only half the cost as its not all crabon fibre, it probably weighs as much as you stock bonnet. It will be a layer of carbon with a fibre glass body, if asked for a group buy you could get them over here for that.

[K1HKS arse]

Is it complete carbon - skin and skeleton or is the skeleton fibreglass with carbon skin as Gary suggested.

[monkeyboy]

SKIN & SKELETON ARE CARBON FIBRE

I will get back with the weight

Anyone intereseted?

Like i said half the cost of some over here and quality is fantastic, will sort out that anyone can view my mates if they like

Not enough in the pot at the minute otherwise I\'d be in.

Heard these hoods reduce the underhood temperature by quite a bit too :cool

Will one of these do a lot of good for temperature spikes when you switch off?

I switch off the engine with water temp at a nice comfortable 85 degrees C.  I can then watch this go up to 100 or more after switch off....

Also, anyone have rain type issues with these - what\'s the verdict on that front - I want a vented bonnet but can;t seem to find an answer to these questions....

[ds2000]

I doubt it will help with the water temperatures to be honest, thats down to heatsoak.

Essentially it happens because the coolant stops moving around the engine and the heat gets \'soaked\' into the block - kind of like how a heatsink works on the PC - the heat will always transfer to a larger area.

It doesn\'t cause any harm due to it being a slow process, if you panicked and threw water over your engine to cool it then it would obviously be bad.

WIll post as many pics as i can over weekend as i am away at moment.

Any more questions please PM I have 2 people who def want one so just 2 more to find

[Initial-D]

I have a scoot bonnet on mine and the temp will go up to 100+ when the ignition is turned of as ds2000 said.

It mainly helps to vent hot air from the engine when moving due to the increased air flow thru the bay - Althought theres always debates as to how effective it actually is!
