Ok guys the time has come, ive had a lot of interest in the carbon fibre bonnet fitted to my car ever since i posted up pictures.

There have been so far five of these bonnets made for me and a Friend. We both looked all over the internet for a carbon bonnet which would full fill all our requirements, and simply we didnt find one! So We decided we would develop one for ourselvs.

Requirements were;

To be used on a Road car
To mount onto Stock hinges and hooks
To have the carbon showing and in one weave
To have the indent for the BMW roundel
To have the provisions for the Washer jets (+intensive)
To have a near perfect BMW finish and fit
To be lighter than the BMW Metal Bonnet
To look like this

Image

Image

Image

Approx Weight is 11kg and the stock BMW Bonnet is a little over 21.5kg

There is no one out there who produce a bonnet to this quality, with the finish and detail i can happily say the pictures speak for them selves :D

I also want people who may not be able to stretch for the purchase of these bonnets to have one, so one of these bonnets will be raffled off and all proceeds will go to the E30Zone! Details of the raffle will be released very shortly.

I will have the Bonnet which is to be Raffled on Saturday or Tomorrow so i will provide detailed photos of the underside of the bonnet and the over all finish off the car.

So the prices.

For an order of ten the bonnets will be £550 Plus postage in the UK
For an order of fifteen the bonnets will come in at £500 Plus postage in the UK

There are no hidden charges, no import taxes, no packing costs. I would rather these bonnets be collected as they are fragile and postage could prove to be a problem with their obvious Size. Delivery to Large meets at cost is an option.

I would need a 25% deposit (non refundable) up front for a guaranteed place on the group buy.

Any one interested?

Thanks Andrew

Thank you,

I wish i could help with your situation, but i think most people would want to put this on their cars way before the summer months (weeks) begin. 8)

The deposit is only £137.50 and full amount wont be payable till the bonnets are made and delivered to me. (date TBA)

People who have seen this bonnet to date;

Phil at CPC
Peter aka Pacerpete
Kos (banned)
AndyP
HenryIS

And all thought the quality was very high.

This has to be one of the coolest (and extremely high quality) items available for the E30. Well done to Demlot and friend!

Andrew,

Will these fit a E30 M3?.
And what is the front lip spoiler pictured on your car above.
Im interested in adding one of those to my M3's standard front valance in Carbon Fibre.
Is this something we could get templated and fabricated in CF?.

Cheers Gareth.

No these are as durable as the BMW finished bonnets and will withstand the same level of use.

Gareth Yes these will fit Your M3 quite nice! It looks really good on Diamond Black cars (thats what mines is)

The SE lip spoiler you see on the bottom of my Hartge Valance is not something i do (yet) but you can get them here;

Ill put more pictures up of the Bonnet Tomorrow to show the underside and more close up shots of the Weave.

I think they look good on a dark/black car but on mine I think it would come across as a bit Fast and Furious. Although I like the weight saving.

Some of the guys who are also getting one are going to 'mist' thiers to better match the colour of their cars and when you look close you can still see the weave winkeye winkeye winkeye winkeye :idea:
