Yes
No
I'm considering doing something like this. It won't be real carbon fibre. Don't know if anyone has heard of ModiCoat or Mad-Coat. They specialise in 3-dimensional paintwork and can create a finish that will look exactly like carbon fibre for a fraction of the cost.
I've attached a photoshop image below to give you an idea of what it would look like.
I can get a bonnet from a wreckers for around $150.00 so i can always swap back to the original bonnet.
Undecided at the moment so any Comments / feedback appreciated.

No! Save the carbon fibre for the cars that deserve it . . . it's an Astra for crying out loud! Yours looks nice as it is, don't spoil it by trying to make it something that it isn't.
Old enough to know better . . . Too old to care!
Do it..... you know you want to

Unless it's real carbon fibre don't do it. It never looks EXACTLY like the real thing.
