OSIR double skin ones are lovely. I had a silver CF one on my old ED30 and it got felt up at shows more than me  :signLOL:

but surely the reason you got felt up was because you had a CF bonnet in the first place  :laugh:

Forgot to mention that VWRacing did single skin drylaid carbon fibre bonnets and they weighed a paltry 4.5kg :surprised:

Unsure if they still do them though.

Also Seibon do CF bonnets, but I have heard mixed reviews about the quality of the weave and fitment.

They don't do them any more, while they are super light they didn't fit that well. But still wouldn't be without mine  :happy2:
