i would go for it as it will weigh less than a standard one. Might be a bastard to fit though.

yeh what i thought, it appears to have the fibreglass skin mounted ontop of an original bonnet so fitting might be ok?
should probably ask them.
heat warp?

here is what they say:

hi nick i will try to put your mind at ease, fibreglass is prone to warping under excess heat but unless its direct heat in excess of 200 degrees such as a heat gun held 5 cm from the bonnet for around 10 minutes, you will have no problems.

the bonnet will fit on all original fixing points hinges safty catch and bonnet lock, i fitted one of our bonnets three years ago and still see the car today and it still looks as good today as the day i fitted it i would be glad to offer you a personal garrentee against all manufacturing defects such as cracking warping etc as i know that the products we sell are the best anywhere hope this helps neil
