Mook Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Not everyone would be doing it to save weight, though, Byron. Some people just do it for the looks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P_G Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 So how heavy is a normal B7 bonnet vs and Rs4 aluminium bonnet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byron13 Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 suspect it is a few pounds in weight and a few more in price! CF however is a few more in weight but shed loads more in cost!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mook Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Some people just do it for the looks [/ QUOTE ] I assume you are kidding [/ QUOTE ] No, not at all. Check RedRobin's GTI - he's got carbon fibre stuff all over it and it's for show more than go, despite the fact that he's done a shed load of mods to the car to make it quicker. It's personal taste I guess - some people prefer to spend money on their car to dress it. I prefer to spend money making it go faster, stop quicker and handle better.

Adam Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 [ QUOTE ] Why? [/ QUOTE ] coz it looks naff IMHO and I was being provocative mind you at least it is painted (which goes against the weight saving point) as the unpainted ones look hideous (a la MTM supercharged RS4), oh IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 [ QUOTE ] Each to their own [/ QUOTE ] quite, although tis a shame when a quality and understated motor gets chavved up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] coz it looks naff IMHO and I was being provocative [/ QUOTE ] Me too Take your point but it's fair enough if people like to modify their cars cosmetically - although I'm with you and wouldn't put it on my own It's a bit like saying you should only decorate your house too add value or create space, rather than because you like it...just a very personal thing as Mook says Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
