Does anyone know what the closest looking CF bonnet to OEM is on the market? Feel free to post up some pics If you have one, especially on CW dc5

My old car,really good fitment around the headlight and up along the wings and a direct stock replacement.
Buddyclub on my present car and i would say @15% less flush in comparison.

Mine is close to OEM, but with the vent, so guess that rules me out?

Sits a little low towards the bottom of the windscreen and gaps are slightly bigger around the sides but otherwise a perfect fit. Some places, like the front to the bumper, it actually sits better.

i think if i was going to do anything with my bonnet i think i'd keep the std bonnet and get some lourves pressed in like on my old nova

although if did i had that bonnet done again i repostion the middles ones! as when it get a 2.0 16v engine in the water used to drip in and down the plug holes!! so made wet weather running a bit lumpy!!

Could be made to work, especially if you have it above the intake (with something like the AEM/filter)

i think the carbon bonnet looks cheap on a cw car in the flesh. but each to there own as long as your happy with the look.
think a little bit off carbon on bits is nice all the same.
