BMW M3 G80 G81 & M4 G82 G83 Dry Carbon Fibre V2 Front Bonnet by Adro (2021 on)

The ADRO V2 Carbon Fibre Bonnet improves the bold front-end styling of the G8X BMW M3 and M4. Building on the original V1 design, the V2 bonnet features a more sculpted profile with deeper vent openings and a more pronounced centre section. These refinements add visual depth and better complement the sharp, angular lines of the G8X chassis - delivering a clean, motorsport-oriented appearance alongside meaningful functional benefits. Available from Forge Automotive supply only, or fitted at our sites in Darwen and Leeds.

Constructed from dry (pre-preg) carbon fibre using autoclave curing, the V2 bonnet is significantly lighter than the OEM bonnet, reducing front-end mass and contributing to improved steering response and handling balance. The vent openings are functionally positioned to improve engine bay airflow and assist with cooling at track and spirited road speeds.

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.

What is the difference between the ADRO V1 and V2 bonnet for the G8X?
The V2 bonnet features deeper vent openings and a more pronounced centre section compared to the V1 - giving a more sculpted, bold appearance that better matches the sharp G8X chassis lines. Both use the same dry carbon fibre construction.

Does this bonnet require any modification to fit?
No. The V2 bonnet uses the existing OEM hinge mounting points and latch hardware. It is a direct replacement for the factory bonnet with no modification required.

Do the vents on the V2 bonnet actually help with cooling?
Yes. The vent positions are functionally designed to allow hot air to exit the engine bay. At track and spirited road speeds this contributes to improved engine bay airflow and lower operating temperatures.

Is this compatible with both M3 saloon, M3 Touring, M4 coupe and M4 convertible?
Yes. The V2 bonnet is confirmed for M3 G80 saloon, G81 Touring, M4 G82 coupe and M4 G83 convertible.
