Definitely interested, I'll have a look through the site and decide later today. I'll have to try and get some dimensions first though, I tried to fit a MINI c=boonet scoop to my car but it was so wide it hit the alternator. 
I'm only round the corner from you anyway volkmini, so would be easy too. EDIT: I've emailed them asking for dimensions. We'll see how they go. |

also you may need to get the hinge area modified... most of the time they are all based on the UK bonnet hinges (really far out). |

Mine however would be going on the road car. I'm too tight to buy the version with hinge and catch mounts so I'll just bond my own in there, or use pins or dzus fasteners. My car has UK hinges anyway. No response from ABS yet. |

Epic range of bonnets there. Anyone know if the Clubman ones would fit without too much modification? Carbon weave. Tasty... |

I don't think it'll work for me. Looks like my alternator is a problem. The scoop would sit lower than it does in this rough photochop, but from this I'd say the scoop is the same size as off a BINI, not scaled down like I was hoping. I'll wait for ABS to confirm, but looks like I might be out for this car. I'll still give it some thought though.....I might even take the gamble that I could modify it or sell it if it don't fit.

Still nothing from ABS. I think I'll give it a miss. Sorry volkmini, maybe somone else still wants one? |
