Title: bonnets
Post by: alancdavis on November 19, 2009, 14:36
I have decided that my bonnett is plain and drab...so my thoughts are a bit of cosmetic bull to enhance it,,,,,may be some intake scoops or similat add on bits

Any ideas or pictures

C one carbon fibre bonnet? That has vents on the front. As seen in any of the pics of my old car on here. I bought mine from Prolex

Whats the point of scoops on a bonnet where there is no engine? I know that with the C-one bonnet and the gubbins below it removed and the C-one Al Underbody (that I have) it is supposed to give you some front downforce, but if you're not doing that, then to be honest it looks a bit pants..
(sorry Phil).

As I said  cosmetic looks only......still I guess you could vent the scoop to the engine bay for additional cooling    s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

Never said that.. said I think bonnet scoops in a rear engined car looks pants. Overall your car looked good, but if you just had the bonnet it would look poor imho
