I was looking into getting a carbon bonnet for my S2, but they are seem to be crazy expensive.

I got quoted $2500 or fibre reinforced plasic for $1500.

Anyone seen any better deals??

"DOLPHIN carbon bonnet series (M35 stay Zia / C34 stay Zia / Y11 wing road) cancels release now"

mines been sprayed, but that model looks exactly like it... does it mean mine IS carbon fibre?

i was gonna try and get new bonnet pins as mine are a tad corroded and very squeaky. :)

i might try and contact them for a spare part.. :thumbsup:

How heavy is it when you lift it?

If it is CF, and I suspect it is, it should be pretty damn light

yeah it weighs next to nothing compared to a normal bonnet. even has a tendancy to rattle abit at 110 if its windy / turbulent.

i can see what the bonnet pins are there for :thumbsup:

i wonder why mine was sprayed.. i happen to like that nice carbon fibre look of the other one..

i presume if i stripped it i could get that look ? :)

I think it looks better black... It is your car though.

BUT just remember that CF bonnets a cop & defect magnet in VIC. Even you have a RWC. (something about a lack of crumple zones in CF bonnets)

At least you stand a bit more of a chance if it is the same colour as the rest of your car.

if i have any trouble in VIC cos of all my mods and get canaries. (none so far and i hope it stays that way), i'll take it to TAS.

get it Rego'd (with a custom plate) (they register pretty much anything there) and then drive it back :P (my parents live therE :) )

problem solved.!?? anyone thought about doing that?? haha :)

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
