Just wondered what the different bonnets available were called...
Am i correct in thinking the scoot type is the one with an opening at the front & then 6 or so nicely arked holed panning out further back?
I do particularly like the look of this kind although i\'m not so sure about the carbon thing on a black car what\'s the general name of these styled ones?
Cheers

Yes thats the scoot one you described :)

Theres some replicas here of the RE-Amemiya N1 bonnet and the Scoot bonnet. There mite be a few others but cant remember off the top of my head

Rotary Extreme
1999 Type RB-S
My Car

Stout  the makers of my bonnet do one like that for the FD, with an intake hole too which is a bonus! :D

Go careful with bonnets mate; seen loads of (fake) vented bonnets at Geff\'s and no lie 95% look awful, both quality and fit :( Just ruins the front of the car IMO...

If you are thinking of gettting a carbon bonnet, go talk to dragon (Ross) He has a few on his web site. Also if you want to see a carbon bonnet on a black car buy Japanease performance this month to see Miguels absulutly great looking motor.
I think his is the best looking RX7 I\'ve ever seen!

cheers folks i did notice it looked similar to the mazdaspeed ones on takakaira, stupid question time can you apint carbon uns to match bodywork? i guess that almost defies the point in having carbon in the first place but was intreged as mazdaspeed un on taka was blue but described as carbon although i may of missed something again as i said elsewhere my ma did always say i\'d go blind http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008\' target=\'_blank\'>http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_8_4.gif\' border=0>
Interesting comments about bad fitting mine did have slightly bizarre lines previously along the wing/headlights/bumper but i was never sure which bit this was caused by. I guess if i\'m getting new bumper wing etc anyway bodyshop would be able to ensure it fits well.
I should add that bonnet pictured above is from Dragons site & looks good stuff & well priced so very tempted potentially......
Any cunning plans greatfully recieved mind....:god

A decent body shop can only do sooo much to make things look ok Si :D

lol nah it doesn\'t show more lust me thinks.... lol
So from the yellow one whats the story with "exerimantal...gel" stuff? I take it from colour at least it painted easy enough?
So you mean my bodyshop wont be able to make it look like a ferrari? only kidding but i\'d presume Ross\'s were pretty good stuff, anyone sucked it & seen as such? lol
Si (breathes a sigh of relief as realisation i dont own a MR2 i\'m trying to make look like a rari sets in http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008\' target=\'_blank\'>http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_8_11.gif\' border=0> lol)
