Anyone priced an XR8 bonnet as a spare part yet?CheersBrett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painting would require about 400 clams. These are all guesstimates! :lol: Could be wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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 ) so just getting my options together at this stage, just keeping the dream alive.CheersBrett Edited 20/01/04 10:07 AM by bwhinnen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
