I rang the dealer today to see if I could option an XR8 bonnet onto the XR6T, I just love the look of the XR8 bulge!

Yes it can be done, but at a premium of $2300!! Anyone priced an XR8 bonnet as a spare part yet?

Cheers

Ummmm, there not that much!

Im not at work at the moment, but I believe the rough price is around $1300? Painting would require about 400 clams. These are all guesstimates! :lol: Could be wrong!

I have seen carbon fibre XR8 bonnets in the nsw tradingpost for around $800.00 Just need a paint job on them.

There are also Carbon Fibre GT Rear Wings as well, about $600 I think.

Don't quote me, but definately do not pay that much for a bonnet. Many many cheaper alternatives

Get someone to 'accidently' drop something heavy on your bonnet then pay the insurance excess and Bob's your second cousin's uncle.

That would be morally outrageous. Get a volvo driving mate to reverse into it, at least that would be a believable story.

Now, come to think of it, I don't have any mates that drive volvos. I am far more selective than that.

There was no way I'll get it as an option at that price. I'd have to drop the prem brakes or both the prems and the 18's or the hard tonneu cover if I was to pay that amount!

The new car's a way off yet (I'm sure the series II will be out by that time :smilielol: ) so just getting my options together at this stage, just keeping the dream alive.

Cheers

Can someone in NSW get me a phone number or some contact details for these please? :smilielol:

And what is the weight saving...that's the important question.
