Carbon Fibre Bonnets Defect or not ?

[Hiroshima Screamer]

i have heard that they are a defect is this true if so has anyone on here been done for it yet ?

[Tosh]

they dont crumple like stock bonnets so I have heard they are

[MISGSR]

anything non factory supplied is as far as I am aware is defectable

eg. fibreglass copy evo bonnet - defectable

genuine aluminium evo bonnet- ok

altho I have never heard of anyone getting a defect for one YET

[SHUTO-BOY]

might as well make bodykits illegal

[PranK]

factory bonnets have a crease in them (about half way up the bonnet) so that they fold in an accident. F/Glass and C/Fibre bonnets splinter and smash in an accident and can do more damage than the actual crash.. thats why they are illegal.

Is it funny when you try to find legality for ages get positive answers so you buy the thing and then get bad answers

[PranK]

i have a fibreglass bonnet and have to go get my car inspected....i was told from the inspector it has to be "as structurally sound as a factory bonnett" i asked wat the hell does that mean..he just said it has to be the same strength....get an engineers report...but also said if it has the rails underneath just like the factory one it should be ok...but im just gonna put a friends bonnet on just for the inspection....wish me luk its next week...my car has been put to stock

Best thing to do is perhaps a painted fiber bonnet???

i think there is still ways to tell its cfb , even if you do paint it

[vendetta]

first of all why paint a carbon fibre bonnett that is just stupid! and the other altenative is what i got a fibreglass bonnet

[Hiroshima Screamer]

say im wrong by all means , ive been known to be but arnt FGB as ilegal as CFB ?

[vendetta]

yeh they are but he was sayin paint the cfb so if ya gonna paint it u might as well get a fgb

[Hiroshima Screamer]

RTA sucks i wish i was in osaka i think they are allowed to put whatever they want on their cars

[franks]

you could always just paint the stock bonnet black
