legality of carbon fibre

I know carbon fibre bonnets are illegal in australia due to crumple zones etc, but what about carbon fibre engine covers?

    the stock item is a similar material, so you will be fine.

    Well the turbo lid is similar, n/a is steel.
     
    I can't see it being a big drama, it's not a load carrying area and it would be pretty hard to hit a pedestrian with it.
     
    As long as it properly made and isn't like to fly off I don't think you get picked for it, unless maybe you are in SA??!

    ^ LOL
    depends on how ridiculous it is, if it kept to the stock design and was CF then you should be OK. But if it was a PP style one in CF then you'd probably need the KY ready...
