I am putting this up to see if anyone would be interested in a swap deal.
I currently have an N-Style Carbon Bonnet that I purchased from Jeff at EPRacing and I am looking to swap it for a "Bulge" bonnet plus £350. The swap would have to be done at my place in Crawley, West Sussex as my Z is currently SORN and I really don't want to ship them both due to size, weight and liklyhood of damage!
My bonnet is in very good condition with only two marks on it. The first is at the front of the bonnet (see picture) where something has scuffed it slightly but it is only in the clear coat so will most likely polish out. I will attempt this when I get a spare half hour this week as I am confident it will clean up ok, just haven't had time to do it so far. It also has a small crack in the clear coat by one of the vents which it came with. Again, I am pretty sure this could be cut back and redone but it's not something I want to dabble with myself in case I make it worse!!
It has an adjustable front latch so the height the bonnet sits at can be adjusted to the required height and is secured to the bonnet hinges by the standard two bolts each side. Your oem bolts are suitable to use with this.
At the moment, I only have one of the vent covers on as my lid on my K&N was catching on the otherside but the other cover is included in the swap/sale and the cover will fit with an open filter or oem airbox.
As far as I know there are only a handful of these in the country and imo it is the nicest looking carbon bonnet out there. I am looking for the swap as now my car is matt black and smoothed, I just don't feel the car flows well with the gloss carbon and vents which is why I am looking for a smooth oem bulge bonnet. I am not sure if this bonnet will fit above the new engine but I see no reason why it wouldn't, I just haven't seen it done before.
I am looking for a bulge bonnet that is in medium to good condition. I am not worried about stone chips as I will be cutting it back and respraying it anyway but obviously, the less the better! However, it can't be dented or damaged.
