I've just realised mine was actually only £29. Has a vent too...

I'm not sure if I like it tbh but have yet to try it out on my car

EBay auction, local chap - pickup only.

I was actually sat drinking cocktails on a beach in Turkey at the time and asked my wife if I should put in a cheeky £100 bid - imagine my joy when I won it for that price.

Exactly! :) ... I panicked a bit at first thinking "jobby I'm in another country & won't be able to pick it up", but then realised I had a few days to pay then a few days to arrange collection which allowed me enough time to enjoy the rest of my holiday, get home, settle back in & then collect it - plus positive feedback.

I hope you're as lucky as me & find something really cheap.

Depending on how it looks on my car, mine may well be up for sale at some point (but not at such a bargain price)

Rich, if you were more local to me, I'd happily do a swap for my OEM style carbon bonnet - I was tempted to bid on that bonnet but was too far away for pickup. The vent is perfect for cooling my supercharger location. Tried quite a few vents/scoops sat on the OEM, but they all ruined the lines of the car. This one, while still in your face flows nicely.

Maybe worth a thought if we happen to go to a show in the year? :?

Yeah definitely, but that's a big if. I've never been to a show before for starters... but if you don't do a deal with someone else beforehand & we ever do meet I'd be up for this :)

:lol: Your alright, I have my OEM metal bonnet and have tried numerous vents, Evo, Scooby, L200, etc. None suit.

My carbon bonnet is brand new, not actually driven the car with it yet.

2ludes??? I wanted mastacutz's one a while back now, but communication broke down and it came of nothing. Since then I've had a few bonnets, and settled on the OEM carbon creations one.

Well keep it in mind for the future bud. :wink:
What condition is it in by the way? Mine is brand new.
