carbon fiber bonnets

[slyopel]

i was wondering if they made carbon fiber bonnets for the astra g's?? if so where can they be found??

[imay]

Ask the guys on astra-sport.co.uk, they may be able to help out. They have the carbon bonnets in UK, but I doubt if anyone here would be making them.

Good luck.

from what i can understand they are illegal because they are not structurally stable like the genuine bonnet is. you might have to check it out with Vic Roads, or look into a fake carbon fibre bonnet

[oneightoo]

the bonnet forms a part of the crumple zone.. absorbing some impact.. a carbon fibre bonnet will either just snap or fly off..

do you want it for looks or because they are lighter?

a fibreglasser told me that they can spray over your standard bonnet with carbon fibre, so it looks the sh*t!!!

that would be good, but it's gotta be on the right car..

[mr_sikma]

yeah i wouldnt mind it on my black car.

maybe get some vents like wrx or even a scoop?

carbon fibre bonnets only look good on white jdm cars

yea it would look good but dont get the one from the WRX. Wat about the new manaro one that might look good

[BA55UP]

i think they can look good on any car, as long as it is actually a modified supped up one :)

a CF bonnet on my grannies excel wouldnt really have the same effect as if it were on a R34 skyline GTR hehehe

[mr_sikma]

yeah the carbon look is awesome, i am also a fan of the black bonnet!

yeah theres plenty of vents that look good. the ea falcon ones arent bad also!

you're right there... a CF bonnet on your grans excel would have more effect than on a skyline...:D

If one was to put vents on their Astra, the Pug 206 GTi vents I think are the most subtle and would serve a purpose also if positioned correctly on an Astra or Barina bonnet.

hahaha got rice biatch?! :P

[slyopel]

next question is do you think it will suit my car. the webpage to look at the car is http://slyopel.opelaus.com I haven't had it done yet

[r0b3y]

yes it would look sweet!!! carbon fiber bonnets always suit white cars better then others i think..

i dont usually like black or CF bonnets, but they really suit some cars. i reckon it would look great on yours. r u going to colour code the door handles and side strips?

[oneightoo]

they look good on dark red cars..

[slyopel]

i thought about it i was gonna do them chrome instead but if some one hits the car with there door or abandon shopping trolley which is what most people in vic do. then theres no point doing them. besides the black strips split the car the mirrors are all colour coded but not the rest.

i have a black bonnet... sort of blends in with the rest of the black paint on the car :DYes, I have a blue (aluminium) bonnet... also blends in with the rest of the (blue) car quite nicely...
