where to get an adr approved carbon fibre evo x hood

[AUSSIECJ]

im looking to get a carbon fibre evo x hood.
can some body tell me where i could get m hands on one which is adr approved

I don't think there's one.

You will need to get a listing from ADR about bonnets, send it to a CF parts company like rexpeed or Seibon, then ask them to make one which will conform to all the rules on the listing? I suspect its a custom job as well since ADR must get an engineering assessment sheet on the design.

I think you will get a mod plate from ADR as well to put under the bonnet. That will clear you with the cops.

Might I ask why you need an ADR approved CF Evo X Hood?
Are you tracking your VRX?

my only suggestion for people going aftermarket for their hood , get an evo/ra hood.

It's good enough as it's aluminium , lightweight + legal. If your going for the CF hood look , you can just wrap it. Some "CF hood" aren't even real CF. Their just FRP parts wrapped with a layer of CF thus not much weight reduction.

For example , i bought a CF hood vent from rexpeed , guess what , it's almost double the weight of my plastic hood vents lol I'm getting them for aesthetics only so some extra weight wouldn't matter

nah ofey, i just thought it may be cheaper than buying the oem hood. plus it would be different.
getting one custom made seems like it would cost more.

There is a company that can make ADR complacent hoods in AU but forget what they called. They might have an Evo hood already. Pretty much all aftermarket hoods are illegal anyway regardless of what they are made in so it dont matter if you got a FRP one or a CF one as 9/10 it will be illegal.

If you want ADR approved then just get an OEM one. As for the wrap, it looks fake. If you going to fake things, fake everything and dont ever get the real one as it is very easy to spot.

would i be able to get a wrap done on an oem one?
would it be cheaper than painting it?

You could wrap the bonnet,

3m DiNoc fabric would cost around $100-140 for the entire bonnet. That said though before you wrapped Id atleast get it in primer first

[SirGalantHad]

get it painted at least as primer isn't water proof like paint is so just a primer coat wont stop corosion of the metal

[AUSSIECJ]

what if i get primered and the wrap, then a clear coat

Blits Bonnets up in QLD are the only company in Aus that manufactour FRP bonnets that are ADR approved otherwise you have to get a stock one to keep it legal.
Also i think Blits is the company Tim was refering to.

If you wanted to coat the hood in carbon fiber take look at this and everything else these people sell; UK based.

Real CF and not some sticker shit. Can make your own carbon parts with their mould kits...
