CCF bonnet.
Im looking at getting one of these ccf fibreglass bonnets for my vtr as it will save loads of weight as my bonnet weights loads. Seems good for £140. Do they come in primer or black in the pic? Anyone got one on there car? Whats the fit like and how do you fit the original top bolts and lower catch or would some aero catches be best?

From what I've heard they are safer with bonnet pins.

they can come in black/white/grey... depends on the fibreglass they use at the time it looks like, ive seen a few raw products in different colours.
You want pins to

same as most aftermarket bonnets tbh, they should just not fit any mesh instead of trying to be useful and fit cheap stuff.
Bond in an OE grill and it looks fine

They are a bitch to get fitted right and look all wavey when painted. I have one. Overall I'm impressed by the weight savings but not the quality of finish
And yuo can use either a standard catch or pins with it, but obviously pins are safer
