Hey people, I have just registered up and had a quick look to see if i could find what i was after but no luck so hence this thread going up.

I have a Vauxhall Corsa B (2L TwinTop :D ) and i am in need of a new bonnet due to the other fibreglass one being pants and ripping out the bolts!

Any suggestions on what i should go for? I would prefer a badboy bonnet/hood but not sure whether to get a fibre glass one again or go with something else like carbon fibre or standard metal. Maybe i can fix the existing one i have. Anyways here are some pics thanks.

Got some prices for hoods:
Standard bonnet from Vauxhall Dealership £270! - Ebay best bet or breakers yard
Carbon Fibre hood - £300-£500
Badboy Fibreglass hood - Around £150
