Only asking as i saw a fibreglass bonnet for a corsa for sale for £100, and i have been thinking about getting a carbon fibre bonnet.

How much lighter is a carbon fibre bonnet than a normal one.

For your wallet. Carbon Fibre.

I'd go with FibreGlass. Not much in it and a decent CarbonFibre weave is damn expensive!

carbon is lighter, but not by enough to justify spending the extra if all you want it for is weight saving.
