    From what I understand fibreglass bonnets are illegal, but I could be wrong.

    From what i remember they are illegal. If you get pulled over by the coppers and they pop your bonnet ur gonna have problems and if ur in an accident probably same deal of problems.
    Probably just ring your local road authority and ask...
    If its legal by them (the VICROADS equivilant in NSW) than its fine with your insurance company...

    carbon fibre is illegal, but fiberglass is dependant on how it is made. Here in SA we were told as long as its properly reinforced & retains original hinges & locks then its legal. We told them how it was made & they have said its okay. Will know for sure when he takes it to regency I guess?
