... do you think it would suit a carbon fibre bonnet (once black wheels are on) and the mesh on the front bumper is black ??

if anyone needs to see a pic of the car and maybe do a 5 min job photoshopping it on before deciding, ill add a pic of the car so just ask.

thanks alot.

If you've got a tuned engine & you go to the lengths of weight saving to get better times then a carbon bonnet does serve its purpose.

If its just for driving about then I dont see the point in spendiing another £100 on something that wont look as good.
