I say leave it completely naked, you can always get it painted at a later date to freshen it up.  :smiley:
big balls needed to drive around in a naked carbon bonnet.  :drinking:

dont paint it , wrap it then its removable  :happy2:
how about a white pinstripe or style of line rather than the whole side ?
or even wrap the front wings in CF in some way and go for a front end effect .....

Id try and do something different or leave it

Just a thought, if anyone can use my old bonnet there holding it at the TT Shop in Bedford for a month. (Incredibly) It's in good nick, just got to pick it up, let me know and I'll tell them to expect you.

Like the white pin stripe idea  :happy2:

....Why not run it with white vinyl sides for a bit and see if you like it.

But as Hurdy says, YOU are the one who has to decide, not us.
