looking good mate, I'm in london this weekend (managed to borrow a laptop) but will take some pics with mine at somepoint if you want. Try and get some that show off the carbon a bit more!
 
i got it from autocross (the people k-tec get thiers from..) it cost about 400 delivered, the guy got his wife to bring it to me as he doesnt trust couriers with such items, the bonnet is alot lighter than the origanol, when i ordered it he asked me if i wanted the mesh or if i wanted to be able to fit the origanol vent, i asked to be able to fit the vent, when it came the vent wouldnt fit, there were no holes for it or anything, so i made up a bracket and fit it myself.

oh and rhino definatly up for the pics mate, the bonnet looked mint under that street lamp.

mattyh - no willy lump, soon though.
 
ill be honest and say the fit is herroundous its almost as if the bonnet is too small, the top bit where it meets the windscreen is impossible to get right, on one side the gap is 5mm on the other its 15mm, ive managed to level it out enough but it still catch's the corners at the top, the only thin is, is that now its spaced out the bonnet sits a couple of cm out from the lights and its got a kind of escort rs raised look.
i think ive made a mistake in buying this, it looks absolutely mint but the fit is bad, ill be keeping it though, i think bonnet pins would sort the fit out at the top but i have no idea where i would mount them.
 
them pictures were all taken at the same time, you can see that one side is perfect but the other is pissed, ive tryed adjusting the mounts and the latch, i just cant get it to sit flush, how ive got it at the moment is as good as its going to get i think, it sits better than in those photos, ill use pins i think.
 
im sure i could get it to fit properly by moving it on the brackets/using washers/moving the latch over, its just a long process, the bonnet its self looks mint.

It does look good in the metal/carbon. pics don't do it justice. shame about the fitment but I'm sure you'll sort, just a bit of trial and error.
as for it's weight....it's about as heavy as your average sea-side fisby!
 
would go very well with your car, its the perfect colour for it and would go with the wheels, the problem im having with fitting is a problem with my car i think, the old bonnet had dents init where it had been hit and im sure this has bent something, im just going to use pins as i can line it up then
