<![CDATA[Light weight bonnet?]]>Has anyone done a light weight bonnet, or does anyone have one for sale, carbon or pref. fibre glass?

My car is stripped, but it is hard to remove weight from the front..

Only ever seen one rare fibreglass kit in the u.s must have been a one off kit. ( bonnet and arches ) would like carbon job but u.s seems to be main supplier. Then there's taxes and risk of damage!. I was thinking of driving to Germany, supply and fit then drive home.

I met someone at japfest who had a carbon bonnet on their MX.

Its not that hard to make yourself with some resin and matt and a spare bonnet its just time consuming.

Have a look a kami project page. Could loose some weight and gain air.
