McLaren 540C/570S (2015-2020) Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber P1 Front Hood

Engineered for McLaren 540C/570S Sports Series owners (2015-2020), this Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber P1 Front Hood brings McLaren P1 hypercar styling cues — aggressive air vents and sculpted ridge — to your Sports Series. Manufactured in Europe to factory-spec mounting tolerances and quality-controlled by BYC Performance, this McLaren 540C P1 carbon front hood bolts directly to OEM mounting points.

P1-styled vent channels optimized for the front radiator/intercooler area help heat extraction. Autoclave-cured prepreg carbon provides long-term heat and UV resistance.

Key Features

• Prepreg (Dry) Carbon Technology: Autoclave-cured under high heat and pressure, a more consistent weave.
• P1-Style Aero: Inspired by McLaren P1 hypercar (2013-2015, 903 hp) hood styling.
• Weight Reduction: Noticeably lighter than factory front hood.
• Heat Management: Optimized vent channels for front radiator / intercooler area.
• High Strength: Very high strength for its weight.
• 2x2 Twill Carbon Weave: Authentic pattern under UV-protective clear coat.
• Direct OEM Fit: Bolts to factory 540C/570S hinge + lifter + latch points.

Prepreg (Dry) vs. Wet Carbon

Prepreg carbon is autoclave-cured under high heat & pressure, a more consistent weave, a controlled resin ratio — the production method widely chosen in motorsport.

Vehicle Fitment

• McLaren 540C Coupé (2015-2020) — 3.8L V8 twin-turbo (533 hp)
• McLaren 570S Coupé (2015-2020) — 3.8L V8 twin-turbo (562 hp)
