you can get a clear coat laminate to protect the carbon @ that price it would be wise investment.Looks good
Did you not buy a braille battery? just I see the original battery box and wondered why you still have it seeing as your slimfasting :laugh:.

for the prev page I think the seats weighed 75-80kg (thats 2x fronts and rear bench)

Yeah I have the lightweight Braille Battery, I have the box in place to protect it, but to be honest, ill probably remove it.. Really it would only be a bit of dust etc that would find its way onto the cover..

Another job for tomorrow then haha..  :happy2:

Just been messing around with some numbers, and new ideas for weight saving..

If I go flat out then I can get the base weight down to under 1000KG's.. Thats the aim now! Its going to be a super light weight GTI..

Some mad ideas, will include lots of custom fabrication, and plenty more carbon bits, should be mega!!

Looking very very good Jonny...   :drool: :drool: :drool: can't wait to see it on Sunday. 

I didn't know VWR did CF?!  :confused: I would have bought my bonnet from them if I'd known - your bonnect looks beter quality than mine, although i'm sure it cost more than £400  :chicken: ... still I'm also after wings, rear hatch (not with polycarbonate though) and maybe doors... but later this summer. My car's with JKM at the moment - I'm hoping and praying it'ill be fine for the strip on Sunday as its only got 255bhp due to the lean fuel issues with Stage 2+ on the car.  :sad:

This is the first one on any car actually.. But yeah, I listed the price earlier, about double what you paid for yours..

Yeah, hope you get yours sorted in time mate, Sounds like a bit of a strange problem..  :scared:

Think it look really good Jonny. Loving the black CF bonnet overall it looks so aggresive.

....VWR have been getting carbonfibre parts made for their race cars for a while but, as you know, they don't hard sell.

Your bonnet looks absolutely stunning quality, Jonny and suits your car well. I don't think you need worry too much about 'looking like a chav's wet dream' (great expression) because yours is the real thing - Jonny McCoy!  8)

OSIR's carbon bonnets are I think the best of the rest - It's Horses For Courses.

Jonny, you could always get one of these portable bonnet struts : -
