I'm fairly new to the group buy section but does anyone know of a group buy around fro a carbon bonnet or 5 for e30's?

I'd be more than interested.

Info?

the string 450 and the word deal don't compute :mad: .. I appreciate they may look great and take time and effort, but that's some price when f.g sprayed black is going to do the job infinately cheaper!!

I'd be interested at half that price... if a group buy has that much of a saving I'm in :)

That is quite cheap for a decently made carbon bonnet regardless of what car its for. With cheap ones it probably cheap crappy carbon and/or poor lacquer that will go milky.

Isn't that Andrew's car pictured?

It's the same bonnet thats on the group buy here and the quality of them is well known.


I've seen cheap carbon bonnets on stuff like silvias, Glanzas and other shite and when they start to fade and go milky you really realise where the extra cost went in making a good one!

He said a fibreglass bonnet sprayed black, which in essence is the same thing.

Carbon fibre just looks cooler.. :cool:
