Wow. Love the idea of the bonnet being in a base colour too. Wouldn't prevent every blemish, but would certainly hide stone chips quite well.

Gotta sort my wheels out before...

I have sent them a message regarding these bonnets and had a really nice reply.
They won't be able to do "group buys" on the bonnets as each one is handmade and they could also possibly cater for individual needs on the bonnets too.
They could however offer group buys on some of the products available in their shop.
Also this may be of interest too, they will eventually be offering carbon fibre bonnets too!! They are just waiting for the materials to arrive from the US due to the size of the material needed for a bonnet.
Hope this might help some people!!

Looking at their shop it is mainly Lancia Delta parts, body parts but they do have a nice flywheel to suit the 16VT.

Didn't we go through this last time. If people do get these bonnets then they will need to inform their insurance company.

Maybe integradeltona here on the forum, but who's never posted?

If anybody is heading over there from Ireland anytime soon with a van, please pick one up for me. Nice cool

I know who it is that is making these and as daithi28 pointed out, it was him, but he got banned, as he came back as a different user which got banned the first time round after having a lovely discussion with the mods.

^ Thats what I thought:

'A Group Buy': Definition - A group of people who cannot resist a bargain, particularly if its shiney and makes your car go faster

it being bonnet shaped and made of fibreglass is a good start tongue laugh

Interesting to see what the fit and finish is like once you get the bonnet on.
