Carbon fibre bonnet
The rear corners are a bit scuffed.
I bought this with bonnet pins on. I removed the chrome templates and filled it with fibreglass and sprayed it metallic grey.
You'd be better knocking my repairs out and putting the chrome surrounds back on (included in price).
I'm in Middlsbrough
£120 ono

I'm not sure how much it weigh to be honest mate. I'll try and measure it tomorrow for you! The whole of the bonnet is carbon fibre, the underneath isn't the metal baseplate from an original....it is very light!
