FTO AUSTRALIA

hey guys.. im in the process of gettin my bonnet sprayed..

my car colour is the normal steel silver..

i want a darker bonnet but dont want to go black.. something along the lines of dark metallic grey or somethin..

can someone help me with the paint code please??

what exact grey are u looking at??? ive got the grey off the crystler cross fire and there are heaps of other gun metal grey's around

like i dunno.. jus somethin dat'll come close to carbon fibre i guess..

the guy at carmate suggested grey's off the hsv bodykits (the front spoiler) *yuck*

and yeh.. black as per usual which to me is jus plain..

y not get a real cf bonnet. would cost u 800$, u'll end up spending about 500$ to get your bonnet resprayed anyway

yeh my bonnet is costing up to 900$ alrdy.. cf is 1095$

but the thing is.. i called up the rta and they sed some crap bout gettin an engineer's certificate and all this n dat jus so i can have it on my car widout gettin defected for it..

as it stands.. i dont have the time/energy/money to burn on all dat crap.. so i had to make do with a normal bonnet..

does anyone have a cf bonnet on their car? got pulled over for irt? or got defected??

right now.. im jus goin by what the rta told me bout them.. *sigh*

having just looked into a vented CF bonnet for my skyline there are some issues with cf bonnets if u get caught...in the end I decide to go std as I cbf with any issues....damn upset though a cf/vented bonnet would look sick.

yeh man i was spewing when the rta told me all dat crap..

the engineer's aint cheap either.. he told me somewhere around the bracket of 400$ to 600$

CF bonnets for the FTO are not ADR compliant, and hence unroadworthy.
An engineering cert would not change this, and even with an engineering cert you can get defected.

lol.. that news jus nails it den.. dat sux..

*sigh*
