you cant see it very well but it has cracked the scuttle panel at both sides bent the offside hinge (hence how the bonnet sits) and if you look closley it has smashed the windscreen also the bottom layer of fiberglass has come away from the carbon oh well i may be interested in your bonnet boyracer2002 just need the funds
