fibreglass bonnet

[docmilloy]

Hi guys
Just wanted to know if any one has had any experience with fibreglass bonnets with respect to fit/lines ect. In the last 20yrs of owning the car i have been through three metal ones due to rust bubbling through the front lip. Any points/ tips / ect would be really helpful
Regards David

A good question as Im on the look out for a 2.8 or 3.0 myself and was wondering if i needed a bonnet what they were like, as theres no many left up here in salt infested Orkney?

Iv heard they are good! considering getting one myself as my bonnet is dodgy anyway but not rotten.

I have a Smith & Deakin bonnet on my car, which is quite a good fit for size although i do have aftermarket wings so dont really know how good it would fit on genuine ones. I painted mine matt black because it would need a lot of prep work to paint it to the standard you could get on a steel one, the surface is not flat it has slightly raised bits where the reinforcements are on the back of it
