new tvr 400se bonnet
Discussion
I spoke to the fibre glass boys they said they could do a carbon fibre bonnet but to get the mould to a condition good enough to do the carbon bonnet it would take a day of prepping and would make them over double the price of a fire glass bonnet
fibre glass bonnets 250 beer tokens
carbon fibre bonnets 500 beer tokens (if they agree to try)

Shame if the carbon is a no go.. My SEAC body is part carbon fibre from the factory, the bonnet isn't though. I would have been interested.
I didn't know that, so the bonnet and boot were not afforded the same manufacturing material, kinda defeats the object a bit but I imagine the overall saving on weight was considerable.beacon said:

Despite the strength and weight benefits is was the lack of stiffness that killed the AC. This problem caused ripples in the body/paint due to trying to make the panels thin.
