Ralliart / evo bonnet vents on N/A lancer bonnet

[Maddy.b]

Hi , I’m just wondering if anyone has ever cut a N/A bonnet to fit Ralliart/ Evo vents on it . Would it work? or no?

Thanks

It won't work

They're structurally different and use different materials. This thread is probably worth a read...
Another idea would be to make a faux RA / Evo bonnet, i.e. non-functional, but it would be a lot of work.

Oh ok, well thanks !

You could always do like Clarkson did in Bolivia!



Or this...

Whats a 2nd hand ra bonnet run from a wreckers?

[Quismiff]

There was an RA bonnet on gumtree a while back in SA, they only wanted only a couple of hundred for it...

[aspir3]

A good second hand evo/ralliart bonnet will be around $1,000

[Quismiff]

Depending on where you are this could be an option?
It is carbon Fibre though so look at it very carefully if you consider it/it is still available.

Thanks, I’m trying to find one that’s not ridiculously expensive ahah

Yeah the massive bummer about the bonnet is it’s price tag, I’ve seen some for 1000 bucks too

[Lancer1993]

Maybe get a cheap stock CJ one from the wreckers and see if it can be tastefully modified... just do a better job than Clarkson!

[Maddy.b]

Yeah good idea lancer1993

Go have a chat to a custom hot rod shop or similar , these guys can do this kind of work in their sleep
I remember chasing this up with a few custom hot rod shops up north and was from memory quoted only a few hundred to get the job done.
I also happen to have met a young man who took to his bonnet himself and dropped in some Air scoops.
It doesn't look too bad I guess
Unfortunately they are mounted out wide where they don't really serve much purpose
Looks ok though to look at though
