Diablo GT Bonnet

[LAM_VT]

Hi chaps / ladies,

I don't suppose anyone has a source for a Diablo GT bonnet do they ?, either a used original or a copied part. The cheapest one i've found so far is a copied item here : www.specpro.de/

The only 'kit car' type place that moulds a copy one in the UK refuses to sell to genuine Diablo owners.

Mike Pullen at Carrera Sport had one made for his own Diablo IIRC

Give him a call 01444 455100

Is it not possible to tell them it's for a different car, or does the manufacturing process differ depending on what car it's destined for?

Jesus. So that's what Boyzone are up to.

Elms - Many thanks - Will give him a ring if no other leads turn up.

Lambochick - They just refuse to sell it to a genuine owner (ie. me), they obviously don't need an extra £1000 in their account. I doubt the kit version bonnets and genuine ones are much different, especially as most of these places say the moulds are taken directly from original panels.

Vesuvius 996 - Brilliant reply !!!

Lambochick - Out of interest & seeing as you are lucky enough to have a real GT ;-) ... what happens to any water that enters the vent on your bonnet. Does it have some some of drainage channel built into the underside ?

[lambochick]

I haven't looked, and I've not had it out in the wet. If I remember the next time I go out to the garage to drool over it, I'll have a look to see if there is anything obvious fro dispensing with excess water.

I'll bet.




Sorry.

And that's supposed to be normal behaviour is it......?

OK OK I'm jealous. But it DOES look like Darth Vader's codpiece......
