    Corsa B lightweight fibreglass bonnet 3.5kg's - £80

    Ok, figured it's time for a new thread

    if anyone's been following the other thread where i was gauging interest - since that one i have tidied the bonnet up more, shaved off, err 20 grams too lmao

    Re-done the photos - these do it more justice !! (check out the lame one with me holding it lmaolmao)

    Specs:

    > High quality fire retardant resin (tested myself :lol
    > High durability gelcoat surface
    > Mounts straight onto original corsa hinges (buts bolts washers supplied)
    > Uses adjustable GM corsa bump stops for perfect fitment
    > 2 hollow ribs strengthen&stiffen the bonnet.
    > Ultra-light !! 3.5kg's - thats 10 kilos less than OE bonnet.

    It's upto you how you attatch the front to the car, i suggest bonnet pins.

    Normally i'd want £100, but since it's the very first example i've made, it's a little 'untidy' un the underside, ill sell it for £80. I also had some surface issues, but all is now fixed. Fitment-wise, its sold AS IT, i've made tremendous efforts to ensure that it all fits flush and perfect, but you never know.
    You may need to to a bit of chopping with a dremel, you may not. I dont have a corsa so i can't test it, but comparing it with the original bonnet, all looks spot on and well.

    Perfect for a track corsa really !!

    Now for some pics










































    Oooh looky looky it's so light !!






    so, £80 for this fella, +p&p (will depend on where you live in the UK, contact me for a quote - will be either £15 or £25)

    Ideally, need a pic of it on a car matey.

    And, if you aint got a corsa to try it on, how do you know it will fit?

    Not complaining, just stressing issues i have, £80 is £80 at the end of the day!

    Thats all fair enuff chap

    I used a corsa bonnet to make the mold, (which is exact negative of the bonnet), then the mold to make this bonnet. So, it should be an exact replica of the one used to make the mold.
    I spent about 2 weeks prepping the original bonnet, but glass fibre is a bastard to work with, so nothing ever comes out 100% (unless you're a fibreglass guru), so at the moment i'm trying to get someone to let me try it on their car for pics !!
    Gonna end up offering a bloke down the road some change for using his GSI (wish me luck all lmao)

    Other bits, like hinge mounts and bump stop standoff height and position was done with precise measurements (i know it doesn't look it )!!

    Looks good mate, for £80, let me know if it doesn't sell, I don't really need one for the rally car yet, but I'd have it.
