Gazzi c Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Well I'm thinking a carbon fibre bonnet or a wrap on the bonnet on my thunder grey gen 7 should look sweet but could do with some info so is there any corps on here that do carbon bonnets and how much do they roughly cost and do they need any special maintenance as for the wraps how much do they roughly cost to do the bonnet are they as shiny as the real thing and is there any body local ish to the notts/derby area thanks gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oMIKEYo Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 (edited) Mine was done by rpsmith (rich, wrappers delight) he is a Corp member on here I won't disclose a price as his prices may have risen/fallen However a body shop quoted me £259 for just my roof in BLACK and carbon was more Edited July 2, 2011 by oMIKEYo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpsmith79 Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 As Mikey said, i can do you a carbon wrapped bonnet and scoop for about £150, if you want a sample of wrap, just drop me a PM with your address and i'll stick you an off cut in the post As for genuine CF bonnets, talk to Ray (yellowchinaman) at RTP, he's a corp member on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And his website www.RT-performance.com i think is still under re-construction!! send yellowchinaman a PM if ya need anything from him. Mine: Stealth carbon!!

LiamGTR Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 A wrap is not as shiney as real carbon, they have a very dry/matte look too them, if you can afford it i'd go real carbon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorris Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Give these guys a call Zero Limits to see what they can do, I’ve seen their carbon and it’s gorgeous it's a very good price too, apparently if they haven’t got it they can make it up.

splinter Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 lovely pic Matt, the photographer who took them has some serious skill Yeah top bloke, and his pics were alot better than mine!! That was a great day and a good photoshoot. Was at the place next to RT-Performance from where mine and SJ's cars pic was taken. And cheers Magic man. She's a labour of love and fucking big moneypit, but seeing her gleaming on my driveway just makes it all worth while. She's in with Ray as of tomorrow for loads of work, im getting her ready for JAE. After a full on paint job and new parts, shes getting full side graphics from Mook designed by me. Nice!!

juicygoolies Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Seeing her gleaming as I drove up to rtp is amazing. I was like "where is this place?" then BOOM I see your car, I didn't even care if that was rtp I was going over to look anyway. Taras was going through the work on my car but I was more interested in your car tbh haha. I might have had a sneaky peek at the work being done on yours too... Shiiiiit lol. I didn't have time to read it all. My car's going in tomorrow so I'll hopefully see yours again. It's just amazing in the flesh mate, pictures don't do it justice at all and considering how good it looks in the pics that is something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invisible Dark Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 No special care needed really for the real stuff, it should have a layer of laquer or resin or something, best speaking to your supplier for better information on their exact product.

splinter Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Mine is being fitted by the man himself as we speak... with his carbon rear GT wing too!! Along with a host of other things!! Although when it was delivered to him by courier, it was damaged!! Fortunatly as im having it painted to match the stripe over the car, it can be patched with fibre glass and the damage hidden, but still bloody annoying!
