KidDub Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Hiya guys just been speaking to the manager or Auto Concepts and has asked me whether any of us lupo owners would be interested in a very competitive ly priced carbon fibre bonnet of a very high quality Can you please post your response or comments as all feed back is good style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee182Cup Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 how much would it cost? does it have air vents in them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidDub Posted May 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Right no air events in the bonnet it will be a direct replacement for the old bonnet however it is very simple to modify the bonnet and cut holes in them for vents (but alll options will be cconsidered ) as for price this may vary from £350 - £400 depending on interest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DubDub Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Seems like a v.competitve price....Would there be massive weight differences between the CF one and the standard Alu one on the GTi?Could the CF one be painted? :wink: :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidDub Posted May 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 I dont think it can be painted but it will loads lighter improving weight to ratio for more speed and definate improvement style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssexLoop Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 well if i had a bit of spare money id seriously consider it... had spoke to All Smile previously but they never came back to me on a few occassions, think i was quoted like 500 squid for a CFB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubDub Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 What sort of demand would there have to be to get these things in production? or are they already available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrat Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 yea ofcourse it can be painted, but whats the point , you dont spend so much money on a carbon bonnet then paint it !!as for the diffrence in weight , you aint gonna feel jack crap difference on just the bonnet alone ...thats a very good price for a carbon bonnet ,providing its a completely new reinforced carbon bonnet and not just the old one skinned .. the finish on carbon bonnets are not 100% , you will notice alot of waves bubbles etc , so if you very picky , dont get one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KidDub Posted May 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Right guys have spoke to the guy today and he has re assured me the quality is spot on, plus the bonnet is all complete not just a skin also he said he will look into the polo one aswell as they already supply these for the golf range, as i am aware at the moment the lupo bonnet is not in production yet but as soon as it is i will have one as a demo style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyW Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 My gut says on my colour of car it would look good, wouldn't stick out until you were close up. Not interested though, I'm going to wait awhile before I start modding. Would love to see some pics though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
