Wethje Carbon Hood

[$w!ft]

Hi, looking for a wethje carbon hood, looks exactly like this.

Anyone know where I can find one for sale or know someone who is selling theirs?



Thanks

cf bonnet

CA Automotive stock c/f bonnets...not sure if they stock that make.

Last one I removed was far heavier than standard bonnet

This the one the CSL loaded has and it is lighter than the stock bonnet.
I wanted one too.

So I emailed them (in German) but they never replied to me.
It looks like they don't want business

From memory it's 6kg, versus 11kg of the OEM.

Alex - try getting your brother to email them.
'Wethje' are the company that manufacture the CSL's Airbox or sold I've been told.
The website isn't much to look at: http://www.wethje-gmbh.com/ which suggests they don't sell to the public but manufacturer/supply components to the Automotive Industry, BMW in particular. :smokin:

I really like this bonnet.

I would paint it of course.

Of course far to ostentatious left in Carbon finish! :thumbs:

And your 5kg difference soon becomes less:smokin:

The vents are the interesting part, not necesarrily the 5kg

I thought that 'Loaded' used 'Schmiedmann' parts to create the look, including the vented 'GTR' bonnet: http://www.schmiedmann.com/3_series/...36.htm#1933931
I suppose the vented bonnet helped increase the air flow, with his CSL being supercharged.

Get the angle grinder and fit some vents to a spare standard bonnet Alex?

Far cheaper?

Roland you are a carbon whore, trying t build the CSL as it should have been. :beer:

[alexk]
