Thumbs up What bonnet is this? FD

can anyone help me work out what carbon bonnet this is please?
I have just put one on my car, but can't for the life of me find any info about what it is.
Inside that outline in the middle of the bonnet, is an inwardly facing vent.



Cheers!

It's probably a Mazdaspeed knock off from Carbon Creations or something...

It looks like a TC Sportline(an ebay company) "Type W Style" hood.

I'm sure if it was a knock off though, it would be pretty much an exact replica though ?!
The vent on mine has more rounded edges than the one in the link..

Arghhhh, its driving me crazy trying to find out !! lol

Some companies make sublte changes when they copy something, so that they can call it their own.

Most companies(original and replicas) put some sort of branding on their pieces. Have you checked the underside of the hood for a nameplate or something stamped into it?
