I've had some interest in my Bonnet.

It's a steel bonnet not fibreglass. I'm looking for expressions of interest and If there is enough interest I can move forward with getting it manufactured. Depending on number it would be around $2000 with shipping around $100. With a reasonable number of orders it would be cheaper.

For that it you would get a complete kit:

Bonnet, Grills, bonnet liner, screws, all the drainage hoses, etc.

You would still need to paint it.

I'm considering the option of exchange bonnets but that would cost postage each way and more hastles.

Holy moly, that's one sick bonnet. I'd love it but $2K is getting up there, especially as it needs to be painted.

Yep - no doubt it looks the goods but $2k + painting costs is restrictive to say the least....

$1500 painted and delivered would get a few takers I reckon,.,

Am I deeaming?? :laughing:

I recognise it's not cheap - I won't mention what my copy cost. :laughing:

There needs to be a fair bit of reinforcing in the front end once it is cut.

Steel is hopefully more durable longer term and the cutting of the Grill in mine took over 3 hours to mill. I'm looking into what I could do to reduce costs.

I meet this bloke at the All Ford day. He is just a bloke that modded his bonnet, and up close it is a great job. I guess people hit him up on the day, and an idea has grown.

By the way mate, welcome to the forum.

For looks I will give an 8, one of the best looking bonnets I have seen.

For function I would give it a 2, for the T vents are required not intakes.

3 of those side vents on each side along the crease of the bonnet

would be a start.
