Is that a whole CF bonnet Chris, or is it a vinyl?

The fit is fantastic if that is a replacement bonnet!

Maybe these next Chris......http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMW-E92-E93-3-...%7C240%3A1318?

Very nice Chris - goes perfectly with the black as well

Are you thinking of the Vorsteiner VRS boot?

Been looking after one of those myself but haven't got around to it yet - don't tell me you're gonna beat me to it?

I keep looking but the price is putting me off... But it would look really good on my car.

Does anyone do a CSL style rear spoiler that can be blended to the original lid?

Yes J,

I guess what you're after is the Aero Deck spoiler, which is a Vorsteiner add-on spoiler - instead of the full bootlid. It's available in both CF and Pur-Rim versions. The profile isn't quite as aggressive as the full bootlid but still looks good.

The full VRS job looks even better and smoother but it is £££'s - think I've spent enough this year....2 weeks to go

its purely cosmetic, carbon fibre wrap. Everyone who i have shown it to so far is convinced its a new genuine carbon bonnet, its that perfectly flawless a job. And before anyone goes on about it defeating the object and adding more weight etc i think the easiest way to counterbalence it is for me to just drink one glass less of water at lunch time it weighs hardly anything and looks as everyone has said very cool

Another beneift is that i can take it off (with a little heat and and an hour to spare) when i trade the car to return it to stock, stone chip free ... and lets face it, is about 5 or 6 times cheaper than a real vorsteiner or equivalent bonnet.

Amazing what they can do - certainly looks the part at a fraction of the price.

Nice one.

Thats not too bad but does look a bit of an after thought, add on... I guess if your going to do it you gotta spend the money!
