    Cheers buddy. Wouldn't know where to start with getting them polished or if it's even possible tbf? Thinking about it i'm quite lazy so polished wheels prob wouldn't be ideal anyway

    Is that real carbon fibre, Chris? Saving a fair bit of weight there.

    Carbon fibre bonnet is a good thing, I'm just not that keen on plain ones .

    Well worth it for the weight saving though .

    Cheers for the comments I was surprised at how good the fitment of the bonnet was tbh. I need to adjust the rubber stops on the slam panel in an attempt to get the front to line up a little better with the lights yet though. Hoping it'll be less noticeable with the rubber strip fitted

    Ill be leaving it as is. I must admit to being a little chavy with carbon fibre

    The point is to lose weight I'd love to be able to afford carbon bonnet, boot, wide non-vented front wings and rear overs to lose a load of weight but they would all be painted so it doesn't look that special One reason for losing my kit and going back to stock bumpers...

    Although fibreglass ones aren't that much heavier are they?!

    You don't see full-on carbon bodied race cars rocking the raw carbon look much do you?! They're painted...
