    I don't think there are any like this in Australia at the moment. However, you can get another style similar to this. it has two large vents instead of two small ones showing in the picture but it hasn't got a middle vent.

    Bear in mind that it is unlikely to be a legal modification as carbon fibre parts are not normally adr approved since they shatter rather than crumple.

    Not sure how fussy you are, but the fitment of these replacement carbon fibre panels are generally pretty bad (unless you buy absolute top notch brands). Ive seen some shots of one of the sellers on here who is getting onto some carbon parts and the fitment is pretty bad - certainly not something i would be happy with.

    The carbon panels sit either higher or lower than the guards so you can see it dosent sit flush, and the fitting around the grill and headlights is pretty poor too. Not to mention that most if not all of the carbon bonnets need those ridiculous looking racing bonnet pins to hold it down because the factory bonnet latch doesn't work on them.

    You could install Focus RS bonnet vents and get the same look as the first bonnet posted.
    A heap of guys do it to their xr5 with no issues expect manning up to cut holes in the bonnet!
