Default Which Vented bonnet?

Hi all
I am looking at a vented bonnet I like the style of the mugen bonnet but not the price, I know there are a few that are poorly fitting but which would u recommend by budget is around £600ish

I am thinking I may spray the bonnet and leave the vents naked carbon Like the pic below

I have the Mugen version. I've seen the Seibon and Chargespeed carbon bonnets; the fit is not very good. I would go for a J's Type V if you can afford to spend a bit extra.

IIRC Buddy Club used to do a 'proper' CF bonnet for around that price.

(Mugen looks the best but it is a hell of a price)

Oxhouser started the ball rolling and I believe he is from your neck of the woods, so may offer some assistance!
