Zed_lover Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Have just bought a carbon bonnet and need a guide on how to remove and fit!! Many Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Remove the hinge mounting nuts on the bonnet. Remove Bonnet. Installation is the reverse. Can be a bit of a faff on to get allignment of new bonnet right. Do a google search and there is a guide on how to do it. It's here: http://www.zcarmotoring.com/showthread.php?861-Nissan-350z-Hood-Adjustment&p=40040#post40040 (ignore the pics, the OP has obviously moved pics around in hi Photobucket account and not updated the thread) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hensh65 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I doubt a body shop would charge very much to do it, I mean they could probably do it there and then, only thing is getting the bonnet to them as this was a pain for me ! !

BulletMagnet Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 If doing yourself, then deffo handy if a friend is about. If you have bonnet struts, then you should be able to do it by yourself. Done mine so often, i can swap a bonnet in 5 mins, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Forgive me, but is this not bloody obvious when you look at it? There's nothing hidden, nothing to catch you out, you can see the bracketry and bolts without any fuss. I really, really cannot see how any one would need a guide for this. Especially not if you haven't even attempted it yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Oh and if not already done by the manufacturer, I'd highly recommend getting the new bonnet sprayed with clear lacquer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taras Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Ive never seen a carbon bonnet without clear lacquer on it... Unless it's a dry carbon bonnet or vinyl fakie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 The Varis CF Bonnet I have was pure gelcoat at purchase, hence my recent DIY refurb threads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
