I don't think a bonnet is a load bearing component?

because vibrio is old and moans alot he clamined that a carbon bonnet would be no good in a crash

ians reply was based on the fact if that it should matter if the bonnet is made from steel/carbon/chocolate as its not a structul part of the car

The bonnet only really absorbs impact when you run somone over, it is the only thing that stops thier head slapping against the block. If you have fitted a 2.0 engine then you don't really care about that.
