    Fibreglass bonnet?

    Looks original but saves the weight!

    Is that just a normal bonnet sprayed black and badboyed?

    I wouldn't really say thats the 'Track' looks if so.

    If its a carbon bonnet. i think they are pretty damn rare for a Mk1!

    That bonnet was full carbon. It was from CCF - not got contact details i'm afraid but i'm sure someone on here will be able to help. It was very light!

    Streamline do a similar design in either fibreglass or carbon fibre.

    CCF's mobile number is: 07786348072 - His name is Rob

    He did my mk2 carbon fibre bonnet, and the quality is awsome!!
    Would definitely reccomend them!!

    thats my plan but the problem is the supports and everything would have to be clear perspex and its not exactly easy stuff to form (hence polycarb windows have machined sliders) so the bonnet would look odd

    it would have to be 1 thin sheet and wouldnt be very strong so would be show use only tbh
