CFXUK did them (via import from canada) but CFXUK have stoped trading now. I think there were nearer £700, butI'd have to check the thread if it's still there.
The quality was good, it fitted well although the front drivers side corner sits very slightly high, and it weighs 10KG less than the standard bonnet.

I vaguely remember seeing someone advertising them again, but I can't remember where :?

You can still get them from CFX in canada - although whether you'd trust them to deliver complete within 12 months is a different matter :lol: You can also get them from a different company in Oz, but when I asked they tried to seriously clobber me with shipping.

I've heard talk of a few group buys and other companies creating a bonnet, but they all seem to have pretty much died a death!

Still waiting on some shims!
CFX are now supplying carbon bonnets through another UK company...

Can't remember the name but they advertise in JTuner or JP...

Is that it?

The standard bonnet weighs a ton. How is it a carbon fibre bonnet weighs only 10kg less

i think with the carbon bonnet, the underside is metal and the outer carbon could be wrong though.

Standard bonnet weighed 16.5kg ish, the CFX one weighed 6.5kg ish. (the Turini one weighed 8kg)

The underside reinforcing is fibreglass and so heavier than the skin and probably doubling the weight.
