Aus. ™ Posted 04/05/09 07:43 AM Share Posted 04/05/09 07:43 AM $650 Mate if your lucky enough to find one, you may pick up a used BA/F bonnet for around that price, but otherwise they cost nearly $2k from Fraud.The FG XR8 bonnet's is the same deal, $1,850 from Fraud unpainted, AFAIK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulpes Member 24 Member For: 15y 2m 2d Gender: Male Location: sydney Posted 26/07/09 09:50 AM Share Posted 26/07/09 09:50 AM (edited) My Ba turbo came with an Xr8 bonet and the standard bonet too. The original owner who I purchased the car from had it installed when new by the dealer. If some moron had not dropped the original xr6 turbo bonet on one of its rear edges I would replace it tomorrow. I dont like the xr8 bonet. If somebody wants to swap a balisitc coloured ba bonet for an xr8 one with a cash adjustment I would be happy to do so. What do you think the chances of the paint matching would be ? The spray painter told me to repair the original bonet I would have to respray the guards to match...damn I hate metalic paint.

Ute has lately run the 1/4 mile 12.4@116mph with 299.8 rwkws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
