i love it... especially on an ovni leon.

loosing weight off the front.... any difference to handling? i find my lc goes light at the front at very high speed... im wondering if a carbon bonnet might make that worse?

i have a carbon bonnet fits just like oem, has the bonnet catch and everything, sat in my shed atm, just cant use the lifter as ist too strong,

also if you want to lift the bonnet i would say, dont, as it looks gay, and you will look like a ford owner, all you have to do is cut the rubber seat top off that is on the scuttle pannel, on a cold day i can see the heat poor out of the gap, and you dont look like a chav with a bonnet that doesnt fit

carbon fibre bonnet

Hey guys,
wondered if anyone has considered these for their leon..
might be able to get a discount on a bulk order depending on how many want one.

Hi,

I am looking for a carbon fibre bonnet for my Leon Cupra any ideas where I can get one from or would you be able to get me one?

Regards,

I took my carbon bonnet off, the weave wasn't that good, the fitment wasn't either, one side had a good tight gap but the other was too big, one side also sat higher than the other, plus the gas strut is too strong for it. It was only a little bit lighter than the OE bonnet too.

oh, thats not good Rob, was looking forward to seeing the bonnet in the flesh

can I ask how much you paid for it?
