and was thinking bomex bonnet scoop like this,
im not bothered about function just looks, but could they be functional? and what do you do with the rain water. im guessing its just gonna run straight down into the frunk.( and girls )- the vents do serve a purpose on border bonnets - there is a kit that goes with the bonnet to angle the radiator back bit and I believe you cut part of the front of the frunk out which allows more air through the rad and out of the bonnet and helps increase down force on the front of the car.(or replica)£40. 
When used with the radiator relocation kit it lets air escape up and out of the bonnet vents. the vents only come through where the plastic slam panel above the radiator is, as the last post suggested. Ive seen some home made versions which arnt exactly ideal.£500/£600 on a carbon one though mmmm have to have a think thanks for that didnt want to start cutting my car about as for it cracking when slammed, i dont know. but surely if ya bond it with glass fibre resine it shouldnt crack id guess. maybe i should get one and report back later..(frenched in) and then where the join is it cracks i know their are flexible fillers but ive seen it so many times on show cars aswell, to a normal car with engine in the front so could be ok to be honest, so could be the first mod for the front. £150... think it may have gone but it's not finalised yet....HighwayStar wrote:There's a madpsi carbon one in the for sale section at the mo for

, only thing that worrys me he is selling a engine cover aswell but have to open boot to close engine cover 
bit strange makes you wonder if bonnet fits ok got to be worth far more than that surely. And have a hole burning in my pocket at the minute 
so im going to play with an N/A lid and see what i come up with, either way it will be cheaper than buying a new fiberglass or carbon fibre lid and i get exactly what i want. alot more to the alignment for that......think i will practice on the engine lid first 
now i cant decide on having it painted same colour as car or a very gloss black seems to be the in thing to have black or carbon bonnets at the moment and might go for that, god this car is costing me a fortune havent got the last 3 mods on it yet and im planning the next. all i have to do now is buy the scoop and some hard board to make a template, going to spray it myself i have just serviced my compressor and going to buy a water filter, new spray gun, and a regulator for the gun going to spray bonnet in gloss black which ive heard is the hardest to spray nevermind im quite good with aerosol can so fingers crossed, should be ok really after my last paintwork i had done i wasnt impressed hence why im going to do it myself and hopefully save myself a packet wish me luck, heres the bonnet flattened down only one small dent which will be covered by scoop which is a result. 
i'll be doing this soon and want to see how you get on with it £54 with delivery so try and get it a bit cheaper, ive been buying my tiger seal and my rubbing down paper just need the scoop a bit of hardboard and im ready to go then its save up for a decent spray gun and the paint e.t.c to paint it should be fun what have i got myself into. I think thats a border bonnet or replica
