Black bonnets?

[Haggisman]

but we don't live in france ? so why do people have these stick on filters in england ?

Because it's pretty easy to jump on the ferry and be in France within a couple of hours

I'll give you that obviously this isn't the case for all yellow lights, but there could be a legit reason (as opposed to having a CF (real or just painted) bonnet on 1L Corsa )

I have a carbon fibre bonnet on my Fn2, does that mean I'm a chav?

If it's real CF then no.

If it only looks like CF then yes.

It's real CF, I would NEVER use a vinyl or anything like that.

There you go then.

You have an aftermarket vented bonnet... Doesn't matter what it's made from.

As much as I love the GT2 RS, it would look better if they painted that bonnet.

I presume its dry carbon or similar for weight saving, and they're just showing it off?

Yup, or atleast drive the car of one.

Most of the chavs round here drive diesel VWs. Turbo whistling... turbo whistling everywhere.

Full carbon

Funnily enough, FN2 Type R's are very very rare round my ends but if it makes me a chav in your eyes then oh well

 

[Minstadave]

Nothing wrong with the car, the cars very nice. But the whole vented/carbon bonnet goes with a certain image unfortunately.

dont get why people dont paint their carbon fibre bonnets. carbon fibre looks gash

Ah but then they would need to tell every single person they meet that it's carbon, rather than it being obvious.

If your buying carbon for weight saving not appearance. Then why would you add a load of paint and lacquer ?
