Remember ages ago looking at FK and they were meant to bring one out but that seemed to disappear.

I'd imagine you'd need to get one custome made. Either way, wont be cheap.

would you just want a skin or one with a composite framework as well for additional strength?

I could get some made up but I don't have a mould for one yet. Getting the moulds made for the bonnets is very expensive, so if you can get 10-15 people interested in buying I would be able to do a lot lower price than for a one off item...

I could get them made from any of the following materials (fibreglass being the cheapest and clear coat carbon being the most expensive):

Fibreglass
Kevlar bonnet (Gel Coat)
Carbon/Kevlar bonnet (Gel Coat)
Carbon Fibre bonnet (Gel Coat)
Carbon Fibre bonnet (Clear Coat)
