BMW G87/G42, M2/M240i Carbon Fibre A Style Vented Front Hood

BMW G87/G42 M2/M240i Carbon Fibre A Style Vented Front Hood

Replace the factory bonnet on your G87 M2 or G42 M240i with this A Style Vented Carbon Fibre Front Hood — a full structural panel with a deep recessed centre scoop and an integrated extraction vent.

The G87 and G42 share one of the flattest bonnets BMW has made, and it is the panel that most makes the car look standard from the front. This replaces it with a single large sculpted recess running back toward the screen, which changes the whole proportion of the nose.

The recess feeds an extraction vent at its base, so hot air coming off the B58 or S58 has a route out rather than building under a sealed panel. On a car driven hard that is a real function, not a styling detail.

Manufactured in carbon fibre with a high-gloss twill weave under a UV-protected clear coat, moulded to the factory profile and fitted at the original hinge and latch locations.

Key Features

Deep Recessed Centre Scoop

A single large sculpted recess in place of the flat factory panel, the detail that defines the A Style shape.

Integrated Extraction Vent

An open vent at the base of the scoop, letting engine bay heat escape rather than trapping it.

Full Structural Panel

A complete bonnet replacement, not an overlay or a vent cut into the factory panel.

Weight Saving Over Steel

Carbon fibre in place of the factory steel panel, taking mass off the highest point at the front of the car.

Fits M2 and M240i

The G87 and G42 share a bonnet, so one panel covers both cars.

UV Protected Finish

A high-gloss clear coat that resists yellowing and holds its depth under Australian sun.

Styling Benefits

• The largest single visual change available to a G87 or G42
• Exposed carbon across the whole front of the car
• Functional heat extraction, not a blanked vent
• Weight removed from high and far forward
• Closes the visual gap between an M240i and an M2
• Pairs with a carbon front lip and canards

Vehicle Fitment

Please Note

This is a structural body panel. Fitting requires removal of the factory bonnet and should be carried out by a body shop or a workshop experienced with carbon panels. Panel alignment and gap setting is part of the fitting process and is not a fault of the part.

Supplied unpainted in a clear-coated carbon finish. If you want it colour-matched or part-painted, that is done locally after delivery.

The bonnet is shipped in a dedicated crate because of its size. Delivery takes longer than a small part and freight is quoted separately where required.

Carbon fibre is a natural woven material. Minor variation in weave pattern across a panel this size is characteristic of the material and not a defect.
