This morning I got an email from a mate Tendy who sent me a photo of a carbon bonnet. The email message was: “You want?”.
I replied and the phone rang very soon after. It was Tendy, he said he would be happy to let me have his new bonnet now and I can order him another one from Rennenhaus later (he was going to paint it white then fit it to his white GTI).
He’s a champ and I wasn’t one to refuse! He was already at Top One so Suga and I jumped into the car and in 20 minutes we were borrowing Dedy’s tools (I felt pretty bad about that and would have preferred to bring my own tools) and installing the bonnet.
Quality is perfect and fitment is bang on. I’m super impressed at how easy it was to install. This OSIR bonnet weighs 6kg and the stock one weighed in at 12kg. A decent saving of 6kg which brings my savings so far to -48.38kg.
