205 T16 Carbon Bonnet – Lightweight Double-Skinned Motorsport Panel

This 205 T16 carbon bonnet is designed for builders who want strength, low weight, and an authentic rally look. It uses a carbon and Kevlar hybrid lay-up that increases rigidity and impact resistance. As a result, it reduces front-end weight while improving durability.

The double-skinned design adds stability under high load. It performs well on fast road, rally, hill climb, and track cars. In addition, the composite structure offers a strong balance of stiffness and energy absorption. It is a clear upgrade from GRP or steel.
