How much are you talking about? There is a company listing my car at £529 and I can't say I'm not tempted not that it's a fast car but I have heard of problems with the hinges on them. If a custom one isn't too much more expensive it may be better?

I was quoted 550+95 shipping if i supplied a bonnet for them to make a mould but i would've been crucified findin a bonnet (non vented, so my originals no good) and getting it to them so they agreed to get one in.

Altogether including shipping its costing me £620 but i'm getting the VAT off.

I'm happy to pay it as no-one does them for 19's and postage to another country on bonnets isn't normally cheap!

i think you got too much money.

last of the big spenders

there was a company in Essex that were going to do a group buy for MKII MR2's for carbon bonnets, rought cost worked out at £450 but you had to fit it yourself, they just made it.

although making a RWD mid engined car lighter at the front i think is a lil bit stupid :) i'd like a carbon engine lid on my MK1 and on the MKII if i grab one next year

Which two? I how yer man who runs it

-- Chet

"fit it yourself" ?

Er, remove bolts. Swap bonnet. Replace bolts.

:)

You write for Haynes Nom ? ;)

yeah can't handle that :)

That would be remove bolts in the required order. Remove bonnet.

Refitting is the reversal of removal. Be sure to tighten the bolts to the correct torque.

Is it not "specified torque" :)

-- Chet

Specified torque that isnt actually specified but you have to look it up in some obscure section of the book!

That'd be specified torque then, as in specified specifically in the torque specifications. (c:

Although I agree, its not always where you might expect and you always end up trawling through some obscure section of the book looking for it.

LOL !

No, but I have swapped a bonnet in the past. It took me about 5 minutes, precisely following the instructions above :)
