The bonnet bulge is actually taller than it needs to be, clearance wise.
The extra room is to allow for some movement in case of a pedestrian accident.

The new bonnet is really well made, a lot stiffer and stronger than the old style. Not been brave enough to stand on it yet though to see HOW strong !

The only mod I had to make to fit it was to get a later TD5 style bonnet prop for it.

I didnt end up getting any made as quots for the mould (2 piece) were way more than i thought around (2.5K), and coppies would cost me $600 each. other places were not really interested.

So i just chucked the origional on my county.

New it was 1100 from Kar Craft, but it takes a while to get.
