To be fair, saving the money CF would cost and buying a GPX instead would be a wiser investment IMO.

I know you have big plans for it so I think you should start with the best possible base.
A CF bonnet and bootlid will cost near on a grand and you won't gain the 30BHP or the Mivec roar.

There's a few supercharger projects on the go now so I'd probably hold off (I know this is much easier said than done :mrgreen: I really should follow my own advice! ) and see how they pan out.

I don't mean to knock you enthusiasm but I don't want you to spend money on something you might regret after a while...

i have a CF bonnet and to be honest the only reason i bought it was cause my other one flipped up on me.... for a boot and a bonnet your talking WAY over the 1k mark! boot alone is about 500 delivered!!
If you do want to go with it there are some sellers on ebay that sell nice CF bits, or EP racing as mentioned already!

Could make them yourself if you have time and patience and want a little project for yourself. Can mould whatever you want then without spending ages looking to find a ready made one. Few of us have done it already.

See here;

Its a guide for wrapping items in cf or kevlar but if you make a mould the same principle applies.
