Yes, so long the slats are either painted or carbon fibre.

Price?

Make mine a 'no' then.

Great idea, but 5300 Euros!

I'm sure I have seen a standard carbon bonnet for circa £850.

Another project for Tartan Rob? Thenm again, given the current bonnet is aluminium, how much lighter is a CF one likely to be?

Its very well made and looks really nice, prob one of the best iv seen, but im going to say NO!

However, I would love to see a rised hump in the center (like what the new M3 has) that would make the car look meaty as hell!
Money can't buy you love, but it can buy you a well sorted racecar

Agree with you Rob.

Cons: Price, water + s**t dropping into your shiny engine bay, looks a bit OTT, price....

Pros: Weight, more aural pleasure, heat dissipation
