oh & another thing while i think of it, the bonnet clips, or wotever they\'re called, how easy do they fit in particular with carbon bonnets are they more at risk of braking http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008\' target=\'_blank\'>http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/3/3_4_27.gif\' border=0> or such like, when drilling or otherwise?

Bonnet was on mine when I got it.  I think it\'s a copy but is pretty good - you can see the shut lines are nice and even.

The pins are pretty standard and can probably be sourced easily.  Mine\'s not carbon so I can\'t comment on how that is for drilling but mine\'s no problem and doesn\'t splinter/chip.

It\'s very light, not sure how it compares to stock but I\'d guess it\'s at least half the weight.

Not sure if he\'s selling but a certain Mr Fish has a nice bonnet sitting in his house at the moment looking lonely...

Will try to take some piccies tyhis weekend but the car needs a good bath and polish after yesterday\'s 360 miles (isn\'t the new B\'ham bypass a nice road?)

Sadly for some this is already sold to a very very nice man. I am just holding it until they are ready to receive it. ;)

As I say, nice n thin to make the sound of ya dump values sound good hehe. Got the air intake at the front, a centre grill and a further grill at the back I guess to let heat escape

A standard bonnet weighs not a lot anyway to be honest.  All you really gain is the vents.

Whilst most of them look cool, im convinced some of them cant do airflow much good in reality.

Lee, I would luv to join the planet where a stock bonnet weighs as little as a fibre glass unit. Gravity on this planet must be great. :D

Yes but the gain is relativly little as the stock one is light.  Very few of us couldnt save more weight with some excercise.
