Fibreglass bonnet.???

I looked into CF a while ago. The company that I was talking to would only produce them if there was a large enough order. At the time I wasnt able to raise the interest from the 924 racers and so the idea was shelved. What I may be able to sort is a glass fibre bonnet with a carbon fibre weave top sheet. You would get the look of carbon fibre but not the weight benefits.

Happy to talk about any other G/F parts if anyone is interested. I have decked my race car out completely and am able to source equivalents including doors!

Cheers

I've has a reply from Essential Styling as follows...
Hello[FONT=verdana,geneva"]Yes no problem I can supply them in road spec for £255+vat. This is a replica of the original which therefore has the screw points for the two rear brackets and a "pad" for the bonnet catch to be mounted to. Its supplied in white gel coat.[FONT=verdana,geneva"] [FONT=verdana,geneva"]You can then cut some of the internals off this bonnet if you want to reduce the weight further. [FONT=verdana,geneva"] [FONT=verdana,geneva"]I am in the process of building my own lightweight 944 at the moment and although I haven't weighed everything yet the fibreglass bonnet seems to be at least half the weight of the original.[FONT=verdana,geneva"] [FONT=verdana,geneva"]I hope this is useful, please call if you want to order or need further info.[FONT=verdana,geneva"] [FONT=verdana,geneva"]Thanks & Best Regards[FONT=verdana,geneva"]Simon Davidson

Hi Dan, would you be able to get one with the air scoop vent in it that would fit 86 944lux, I think they were on 924 Ts?
 
Yeah I would imagine they can do a 924T bonnet with the scoop (NACA Duct?) in, I would imagine for around the same money.

Cheers
