Carbon fibre bonnets are definately illegal as they don't pass ADR's due to shattering in an accident and possibly injurying bystanders etc.

The ones you see around are doing it at there own risk and any cars that genuinely have CF bonnets from factory will be ok and there bugger all of those.

So if you want to get one then do it at your own risk but be aware you might get reemed for it, also these CF bonnets going around are usually carbon laid over fibreglass which makes it heavy.

If you want the CF look then just get a normal alloy bonnet and get the CF wrap put on top, that way it's legal and still looks good.
