Had a carbon bonnet on my corsa b for about 6 years now, fancy a change to a car coloured bonnet again. Is there a market for such items second hand still? I do still like the look of it just had it for that long now.

I thought you were all about function over form.

If you are asking about a market for such items then you have no intention of keeping it?

Yeah was thinking of selling it probably regret it like I do selling the speedlines though. I don't really favour function or form tbh I have neither as a preference as its just a road car. Every now and again just fancy making some changes.

Can you not get fibreglass bonnets to paint? Or are they shite?

Or could you not get some smoke grey vinyl wrap to cover the cf one?

Just don't see why you need to make stupid replies? Probably better if you didn't bother as I've no interest in anything you have to say anyway Gary.

thats it there. ignore the bonnet raisers though. will come with bonnet pins. it has a couple of marks on it, light scratch in lacquer kinda. hard to photograph it. i have no clue what it would sell for though or what to ask for it.

off to scrappy today see if they have a smoke grey bonnet in.
