Default anyone used these guys for carbon bonnets?
delivery driver delivering ladders to my workplace decided to use my bonnet and wing to rest the ladders on.
the dick would have got away with it if I hadnt have come out to call the mrs on the mobile, which was lucky. I'm sure that was his intention as he was majorly p1ssed off when I caught him in the act and started taking pictures

Anyway, they have admitted liability for scratching my paintwork and want me to get some quotes to get the bonnet and wing re-painted, but I am thinking of leaving the wing till next spring and getting a facelift carbon fibre bonnet with the money. Anyone used these guys before? :-

the main scoop and vents are an integral part of the bonnet so I won't need to buy those seperate.

Also, fitting a facelift bonnet to pre-facelift, I know I have to change the deadlights and the front grille, but is there anything else I will need to change like hinges or will it just bolt on?

i fitted a facelift bonnet to my 95 sti,changed headlights and grill.Also had to refit the intercooler air direction thing as the face lift is fitted straight,but ours are angled.Im actually thinking of going back to a steel bonnet as my carbon one is fading on a couple of parts on the lacquer .If someone offers me a facelift 406 silver and £100 they can have my carbon one.

Apart from the couple of lacquer probs mine is in pretty good nick.Mine is always outside so someone with a garage wont get any of the probs i have.
Bought mine new about5 years ago from seibon .

pretty good fit and they come with the correct bolts.You will have to swap of the bonnet lock and washer jets.But thats real easy job for both.

thanks, I figured the undertray for the Intercooler might be an issue but I was happy to wait and see on that one. also looked at seibon too but was looking at the Eurolineas one cuz of price as I am guessing the respray quotes are probably only gonna be about £500-ish
