Make me a Kevlar Bonnet for a 10t6 Gti instead of the usual Carbon bonnets?

If so who, where and how much

You are an idiot aren't you? First you comments yesterday, then this.

I thought you were getting a Leon Cupra-R? Why do you now want a kevlar bonnet? Which is probably going to cost a ridiculous amount of money and more to the point impossible.

It's not impossible to make a Kevlar bonnet though. It's not really that hard either.

No point, that's why Kevlar is commonly used as a composite a lot like fibreglass and carbon fibre.

Plus I don't see what you're talking about when you say it degrades in sunlight.

do they not make speaker cones out of Kevlar?

And also Kevlar is half the price of carbon for the same size and weight sheet

a pure piece of kevlar (not composite) will degrade when brought into contact with uv light i.e sunlight

they taught us that at school

That's useless information though really as you would use it as a composite. That and the fact that everything that comes into contact with sunlight degrades.
