nice1 matey!

[Kerby]

lol ya can have it mate. i want a proper one :P

[Chuck04]

not the real deal i didnt think, sure chris said it weighed something stupid !!

[Kerby]

yup it isnt anywhere near as light as the varis or c-one (the one i want) is

[Kerby]

i saw the back of one of the other bonnets they do and it looked like fibreglass on a metal frame which will explain the weight

[ytsport]

ive got the c-one bonnet and its really really light compare to my friends 206 carbon bonnet(which i think its the worst carbon bonnet i have seen)

the c-one fits perfect too :D

[RossP]

Yeh but as much as i'd like a C-one bonnet, this will be saving me about 300 quid, money of which I can put towards other things for my car. Besides, i'm not exactly gonna gain much on a 1.0l am i? It's more for looks

[knightrider]

plus its not steel its fiberglass an carbon an still looks the bomb i mean chris uve hardly got a street racer set up :P

[cmarshall]

Imported over here its £378 all in, pretty good value for money even if its slightly heavier.

[RossP]

Cost me 337 CY Pounds. Nor bad really, considering it includes delivery as well!

Hhmmmm wonder if he has anymore or that was a 1 off???

[RossP]

well it was up on eBay.com.au last week (or the week before) and he ended the auction early. Maybe this is the same one, i'm not too sure, but probably best to send him an email

[earpl]

of course its real, it's wet carbon, not dry, still looks great + weighs less than the standard one. same as rays, and if that little bundle of love can carry it through customs, it cant be that heavy :)

[RossP]

What's the difference between wet and dry carbon if you don't mind me asking?

[earpl]

the way the carbon is laid, wet is stronger but heavier. + you'd be better off getting the bonnet made from fibre glass the same thickness as the varis bonnet if you wanted to go for weight reduction ;)

[clarky]

'bundle of love' - I thought that you had changed your affections ... I thought you and Canavan were an item ,,,?

Sorry - back on topic - Rays looks just as nice as mine, but it is a lot heavier. Comes down to what you're prepared to pay at the end of the day...

[cmarshall]

I found one over here for £450

[Thunder Sport]

Its nice but is it easy to fit as in can u do it urself ?

[clarky]

Its not a specialist job - but neither is it a one man job.

The hardest part is getting the old one off as its heavy - two people with two socket sets can have it off in about 10mins. Then its a case of sorting out the rubber bumpers and washer jet etc to the new bonnet before lighning it up.

It took me ages to get the bonnet catch lubricated enough to accept the lighter bonnet as you cant just drop it into place.

In the longer term I had a few interesting sessions whereby the bonnet sprung onto the safety catch - and once whereby it came up completely - not for the faint hearted I can tell you. With this in mind proper bonnet catches are a good idea.

Hey just had another look at the carbon bonnet how come there is only one hole centred at the top of the bonnet where the washer jets are?

i am sure i have 2 on mine one for each half of the window?

alright so then i would have to drill 2 more holes for my yaris !

[Gnome]

No - just use one jet washer, with wide angle spray. ;)

[clarky]

NO! no drilling -as Gnome said - you just get a single wide angle head - from Halfords or similar.
