if your wallet dont agree, you could always get a fibreglass one, alot cheaper and just as light, if thats what your after overall.

Black bonnet on a blue car makes it look like you have had a dink & not bothered to get replacement parts painted!!

the guys got a point... though what my mate did on his old corsa when he got his respray - he got the car redone in as close to jordan yellow as possible and got the bonnet in black to match his alloys. but he got 2 strips down the edges of the bonnet, bout 2 inches wide, in yellow. to show that it was meant and not just a replacement black bonnet.

carbon/kevlar ones need painting really, other wise they look abit poo.

either get a fibreglass one as they are cheap or get a carbon weave one.

DONT ever spray a bonnet black lol unless yoiur car is black or its a track/rally car.

they look stupid and basicly says you cant afford a real carbon fibre bonnet.
i sawe a red pug 106 go by a thew days ago and it hada black bonnet tbh it looked like it had been in a accident and he/she could not find a replacement red bonnet LOL.

I was thinking of maybe a standard black bonnet and then put 2 slim strips on the left and right side of the bonnet? but may just save and getting it performing better first

Thats the carbon fibre one with weave showing etc, seen a few cars like djmartinp says, red corsa with matt black bonnet and a green corsa too with black bonnet. funniest was the one saying it was carbon fibre... ermmm no!
