One off bonnet??

Just thinking out loud really, Im considering of eventually making a one off bonnet to go with a modded front and rear bumpers.

Was going to replicate one in carbon fiber to cut weight but also thought about added some vents. Nothing like a scooby or chavy, would have a go at making it a cold air feed with some ducting.

Maybe some thing like the old RS to complement the side vents.

Just think the MK2 has so much potential for the body work that MG-R didnt quite get out of it.

Remember Loz had a go at putting some on his but cant picture the final result now.

there was an orange one on ebay over a year ago with bonnet and bumper vents. looked quite good i thought. wish i'd nicked the guys pics as it was an unusual one.

The bonnet ones were positioned behind the headlights i think and the bumper ones were next to the spats.

Was going to do a lightweight version of the original bumper I made with a leon splitter moulded on.

Think staccato sold the car.

We had a guy from a composites company come and talk to us about carbon fiber and thats what got me thinking. He had a cf wheel that weighted nothing prob 3-4kg max!!! Asked him how much they went for.......a grand each!!! Did ask him if he had any defected ones, as Id spray them anyway so looks werent a problem but he didnt think so, did say hed have a look though!!
