Probably not wise.
Seeing as how the only reason for a black bonnet is because it's supposed to be carbon fibre. I doubt they'd make carbon fibre bonnets on an ra23.
Although, you could also make a black bonnet to help heat up your engine a bit?

i dont agree with you on your opinion that the only reason for a black bonnet is for it too be made to look like carbon fibre,
older style cars were fitted with them to create contrast between body and bonnet (look at old torrana after market styling) balck bonnets suit some cars real well and not as imitation carbon fibre.
"to help heat up my engine" ... lol that call was pretty funny, thanks for your reply

I agree, i wouldn't touch it with a 20 ft pole, maybe even 30.

Hi,
I'm not into black bonnets either.
However, I found a pic of an RA25 with a black bonnet. Can't say it turns me on.
