These safety requirements means that you cannot just scan a bonnet, modify it in a CAD, mill the mould out and just lay any CF and cure it. The whole component including attachments needs to be redesigned because CF has different properties to steel or aluminium. This means a lot more cost involve than the Revozport, or a Seibon, or a Vis which are really cosmetic based product. There are certainly legal (and safety!) issues with aftermarket CF hoods, but it is not a blanket rule and there is no rule in the legislation against a hood made of any specific material. The hood, needs to comply to the safety standard in the ADRs for both occupants and pedestrians. My target is GT3 times - not sure if I will get there, but that's the aim.

I believe in RTA all you need is an engineering report that the hood is made of a good standard (in engineering terms). The specific requirement is that things can't be caught in the vents if there is any.

Okay, just thought I'd mention it incase you didn't know as you want to head down the legal path, but you already seem to have it covered
If it were me I'd go with what's already available, you're only illegal if you get caught Btw, the Revosport 1M that was at the last club run needs to jump on here and post some photos. His car looked fantastic. I'm sure you'll have one of the best 1M's going around when you're finished with it Steve. |

There is a thread comparing the PSS and some Pirellis the 295s are as wide as the 305s. So I think it is the combination of both which is the issue. Only time it rubs for me is when I pull in or out of my driveway.

That's BBS FI. Sparoz's is RI-D, which are essentially lightweight FI.
They are made of a special military aircraft grade alloy and forged through a rather unique process. Hence the price/weight/strength. |

Going by the caption - the wheel above is from the GT2 hence the centre locking hub. |

That is just a brilliant saving. I will probably get a set when it comes time to change my tyres.
