   didnt know where to post this so i chucked it here.
   
   Anyone know the standard weight of a Saxo bonnet.
   
   Reason being is i need a new bonnet as mine is rusted and has a load of stone chips, and im thinking of getting a fibreglass one.

   ours are about 7.5 kgs with an inner frame although the next one we'll try to make a little thinner as we over engineered the first

    If you buy a bonnet skin then you will need bonnet pins.
    Our bonnets as standard have an internal frame so you can use the bonnet latch and rear brackets, though you dont have to if you would prefer pins.
