ADR means road approved cause they splinter an stuff. so im looking for a cf or fibreglass road approved bonnet!!!

I have a Z tune style CF bonnet on my R34 for last 2 and half years and I've never had any problems with cops or anybody else. I've been pulled over many times and been asked to open the bonnet, and they never said anything about the bonnet itself. The only time I had a complaint from a cop about the bonnet was because of the metal clamps because apparently incase of an accident they will fly off and hit some1 in the eye :P but they never defected me for it or asked me to take it off, that just was thier opinion. anyway cops once told me and I'm sure they're right, is that they can defect you on ANYTHING apart from factory parts. That could be anything, they said even if you have 10 engineering certificates they can still defect you. And they did it to my friend, he got defected on certain things that he had an engineering certificate for but they didn't care.

My advise just find yourself a cheap bonnet as cheap as you can because it will save you $$$ N don't worry bout any ADR and stuff, just behave on the road and you'll be ok. But anyway if you think you'll be more comfortable with an approved bonnet than go for it and Good Luck.

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
