    Show us your s14a carbon bonnets

    Been in the market for a new one ever since blowing a spark plug through mine and need some inspiration. I really like the Seibon one, although there are a few types and I don't know which is which.
    What have you guys got or even like the look of.
    Cheers

    Impressed with the spark plug through the bonnet, did it penetrate the standard metal bonnet ?

    The bonnet it damaged was a carbon one. I loved it but don't know what it is to get another one.

    Anyone know what this is

    You have a white car, if I was you I'd patch the hole with filler and have the bonnet painted body white colour, that way you keep the vent and weight savings and it looks fresh again without hole

    Just spent a while doing some hardcore googling and managed to finally find out after over a year of searching what's its called..

    Has anybody here heard of Stout?

    Not sure how much to get one here but I guess it's not cheap.

    Amazed! I'd keep both the broken bonnet and plug cover and make them a feature! Was it tightened improperly? very impressed

    Are they CF headlight covers as well?

    They look like normal protective covers which have been sprayed/tinted black tbh

    I'd have a good quality carbon bonnet as long as it doesn't have aero catches or bonnet pins, almost all I have seen have catches or pins

    If you run a carbon bonnet without pins or catches you're mad The standard clasp isn't as strong on them as the standard one
