| Post subject: | CARBON FIBRE BONNET FOR ROUND NOSE |
Guys, Looking to have some carbon fibre bonnets made up for a round nose mini. Will only be feasible if it is a group buy and even then they will cost - $700 per bonnet. If I get 6 commitments then I will go ahead with getting them manufactured. Any takers?? PM me if you are interested, I will ask for deposits if we go ahead. Dan |

Potentially. I am in the same boat as you Dan with the top mount interwarmer. |

See if Curley will send you one - they wont ship outside UK unless you arrange for courier to pick up. Will cost a lot to get one landed here. Unfortunately these are the costs involved in getting things done locally made from scratch - price around the cost of getting mould made (it will be much more than the cost of the bonnet alone from Curley) and that is what brings the price up. |

Also, when you factor in that thats roughly $350 Aus, and then its a Mk3 (which I believe is clubman style hinges, ie moved further apart, but I could be wrong). And as stated, shipping for something like that would cost just as much, so its not that much better really, if at all. |

Hey Josh, I had a heap of CF bits imported from Curleys last year - the price was really reasonable. I haved an distributorship agreement with Curleys if anyone is interested....... |

It will be a standard mini bonnet. I would have mine modified as at seperate cost. |
