Hi guys, Im thinking of changing my bonnet to a Top secret Carbon Fibre Bonnet, however are they illegal or not as I have heard some say they are and others say they aren't. Also I want peoples opinion if they reckon this bonnet will look good on my car as i' am a bit undecided about it.

damm nakkers did u enlarge that pic at all that bonnet is wrecked on the front lip lol..

now as for the carbon fiber bonnet they are illegal if ur car was made in 1995 or above BUT in saying that any bonnet with rear facing vents is also illegal so best bet is go fiberglass and bog up the vents our bonnet has been alot of headaches
Always remember that I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me. An alcoholic is someone you don't like who drinks as much as you do. Don't drink and drive, you might hit a bump and spill your drink. You're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on. Stay busy, get plenty of exercise, and don't drink too much. Then again, don't drink too little. Time is never wasted when you're wasted all the time. One reason I don't drink is that I want to know when I am having a good time. A meal without wine is like a day without sunshine, except that on a day without sunshine you can still get drunk. I stopped drinking, but only when I sleep. This is one of the disadvantages of wine: it makes a man mistake words for thought. Cigarettes and coffee: an alcoholic's best friend !!!! When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they always worked for me. The consumption of alcohol may cause pregnancy. A man who exposes himself when he is intoxicated, has not the art of getting drunk. A bartender is just a pharmacist with a limited inventory. I drink to forget I drink. Alcohol is necessary for a man so that he can have a good opinion of himself, undisturbed be the facts. Once, during Prohibition, I was forced to live for days on nothing but food and water. The whole world is about three drinks behind. I love cooking with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

yeah we got a permit for it but becuase of fractures in the clear coat around the bonnet pins they wont pass it so looks like new bonnet and front bar to get over pits then we r selling it hopefully got a beast coming after that

Your selling Bumble Bee, mate? Bummer.

Probably not worth going carbon if your car is a daily, unless you want to make new friends at the pits :D Carbon on white does look fantastic though.

I already have friends at the pits, when I took the 34 thier when it got yellowed the guy laughed at me and asked what I got yellowed for this time and then passed me straight away without really looking at the car.

Oh really...? Do it!!!! Haha. Just keep the standard bonnet so you can change quickly. I know peoe with different coloured bonnets and they don't get pulled over all the time, so worth a shot. You can't see the weave unless your close anyway.

You can still be legal and get tagged with a canary, I'm proof of that thrice now.

I have adopted the fuck it attitude and no longer clear my mods or update my permit as the pigs will fuck you in the arse anytime they wish.

Fuck it, if I get yellowed I'll go home, swap it back to stock, get passed, then go home and swap my mods back in. I've had a gutfull of these pricks.

Do what Scott does.

Get stickered - 5 minutes
Clear sticker - few days to a few weeks
Wait for new sticker - 12 hours

Actually that's not likely to happen to you Isaac not with just a carbon bonnet. Lol
