I've gone for the bonnet, wing mirrors and the lower DTM style rear valance :drool:

A fair bit, but the exchange rate for $ to £ at the moment is good. The price I was given included VAT and fitting. £1,***'s so cheaper than the big brake upgrade I'm considering :wink:

Just noticed that the bonnet weighs under 8kg as compared with the standard one at 13.6kg.

At least it will go some way to redressing the balance of the extra weight of the sub in the boot.

I wonder how much the other bits saved?

Can I claim that as a carbon offset :lipsrsealed:......I'll get my coat!

....It feels featherlight when you open it. When you close it, the best way is to pause the closing action about an inch from engaging the lock and then gently but firmly push down with the flat of your hand to engage the lock - This method will save possible damage though CF is extremely tough.

It's crazy what a joy it is now to open and close the bonnet!! So smoooooooooooooooth :cool:

Now that is what I call a review on a bonnet :smiley:

Unless the TT shop can assure me that they can get the DTM lower valance section to fit "out of the box" I may well opt out and spend it on something else :undecided:

....Obviously I'll let TTshop themselves say what they can or can't do, but as your whole holly valance is one-piece (Ed30) the only way (I think) would be to buy a R32 Spoiler part to go with the OSIR CF. But then, as discussed in the other thread, you've got a camera to accommodate. As I understand it from Justin, the OSIR tail pipe trim comes with screw fixings.

I'll be interested in hearing if anything can be done.

The wait is nearly over :evil:

The TT shop have confirmed that they have the parts and I've confirmed that I want the outer two sections of the bonnet painting and the middle leaving as Silver carbon-fibre :drool:

Should hopefully be able to get it fitted before the Rolling road day at Awesome (and obviously the Spring Festival) :cool:

Anyone who has silver carbon fibre kitted car pics...pleeease post them :smiley:
