(There will be an update to that as soon as my car is back on the road, I promise people).

Thanks

Remember though, you're not talking about 10 owners of either a Cinq or Sei as they have different bonnets, etc. You'd need 10 Cinq or 10 Sei owners (or both) for it to work. At the time this thread was started I'd have been interested but am really struggling financially now so not going to be splashing out on stuff like this for a good long while yet.

where did you learn to do it yourself then, is it a job or did you just self tech and do it in your free time?

I see Streamline Carbon have been mentioned on this thread, I have a Streamline Carbon front splitter and fog lamp surrounds on my Clio, very well finished.

Have a look at there prices for stuff, £300 for bonnet seems very cheap.

Though of course the point of a carbon bonnet is to loose weight, the Cinq bonnet being so small is pretty light, any weight loses would be negligible.

Used to amaze me when folk fitted carbon bonnets to the Celica GT4 ST205 when the original bonnet is a beautifully made aluminium bonnet weighing in at less than 10kgs with a carbon bonnet weighing at at roughly the same and never as well made.
