BMW M2 F87, 2 Series F22 & 1 Series F20 Pre-Preg Carbon Fibre CS Front Bonnet by FORM (2014-2021)

The FORM Industries Pre-preg CS Front Bonnet is constructed using advanced pre-preg carbon fibre manufacturing techniques for perfect fit, finish and durability. Available from Forge Automotive supply only, or fitted at our sites in Darwen and Leeds.

The OEM Hoods weigh approximately 19.5KG, the FORM Industries CS bonnet weighs in at 10.5KG leading to almost a 50% weight saving.

Designed by FORM Industries for the BMW 1 Series, 2 Series, M2 & M2 Competition.

Note: This Bonnet may need adjustments when fitting to ensure a perfect fit.

Note: Whilst every measure is taken to ensure the quality and life of this part, this product is designed to be painted and clear coated or have a UV protected paint protection film fitted. It is strongly recommended to refinish the bonnet upon receipt to guarantee the longevity of the part. Failure to do so could result in a faded finish - something that all carbon fibre items are prone to. Carbon Fibre requires care and attention to keep perfect.

Common questions

What is pre-preg carbon fibre?
Pre-preg is carbon cloth that arrives from the mill already impregnated with a measured amount of resin. The part is laid up in the mould and cured under heat and pressure, usually in an autoclave or oven. Because the resin content is controlled, the finished part is lighter, stiffer and more consistent than a hand-laid one, with a cleaner weave and better dimensional accuracy. It costs more to make, which is why pre-preg parts sit at the top of a range.

What does "dry carbon" mean?
Dry carbon is the everyday name for a pre-preg part: carbon fibre all the way through, rather than a carbon skin over a fibreglass or plastic base. The surface still has a clear lacquer, but there is no excess resin in the laminate, so the part is light and rigid.

What is a 2x2 twill weave?
The weave pattern in the carbon cloth. In a 2x2 twill each strand passes over two and under two, which gives the diagonal pattern BMW use on their own M Performance and M carbon parts. Choosing 2x2 means aftermarket and factory carbon on the same car match.

How do I look after a carbon fibre part?
Treat the lacquer like paint: wash with pH-neutral shampoo, avoid harsh solvents, and wax or seal it. UV is what ages carbon, so a protected finish lasts longer. Forge Automotive can apply paint protection film to any carbon part before fitting, which guards against stone chips and keeps the weave clear.

Does it come ready to fit?
It is supplied in carbon with a clear coat. Like any large carbon panel it should be refinished before fitting: a fresh lacquer, a colour match to the car, or PPF over the carbon. Forge Automotive can do this as part of the fitting.
