The old owner didnt't want people to think he had goods under his bonnet thats why he sprayed it black.

If its ADR approved you can have it, ring up a cop shop, demand to speak to TMU and you'll be amazed with the answer ;)

[Lukey]

if anything is adr approved, its legal.

Hence why i said ring the cop shop if dont believe me luke :D
Ahhh bro gotta catch up soon i rekon
btw car is all good, i was being paranoid i fink lol

yhe it cant be rubbed back, but make sure it wasnt painted for any other reason like damages or what ever. it wont be a easy process as car paint isnt meant to come off. hence the reason of doing sooooo much prep work to get the right finish and and long life out of it. you have to think to your self, """hmmm how much do i have to rub this back?"""
you have to rub back the clear, the paint and the primer,, if you go too deep you'll go into the carbon then you will need to re jell coat it. if it was just a plain alloy or steel bonnet different story as you can use paint stripper. i say sell it and buy another one or keep it the way it is.

Trust me on this, if its ADR approved and has the stamp take it to vicroads (if i melb) they will clear the defect and have a laugh with you, keep in mind, trying to obtain a ADR one will cost abit.

hrmms don't know about Sydney laws but in Melbourne they are legal as long as they sit probably and secure they are fine.

i heard that if the bonnet (the carbon fiber variant) is newer than ur stock bonnet - ur allowed -

anyone confirm this? not gonna take my mates word on this! hahha

[hisoka]

no carbonfibred is ADR approved. carbon fibre bonnet does not crumple, it infact snaps or shatters really quickly, making it quite dangerous.
