Carbon fibre bonnets being legal is the issue.

Yep exactly right. If it weren't illegal I think I would be more than just droolling over it on the computer

They don't crumple on impact.
i.e. rear end someone, and it'll go through the windscreen and chop your head off

Factory bonnet is light weight as it's aluminium anyways!

A well made sheet bonnet will concertina on compression.
The RTA does not like them as they change the accident characteristics (crumple) of the car. Glass panels are not illegal if the car was designed for them originally, the Corvette has been glass bodied since the first model. See the NSW RTA website for advice on modifications.
I just don't know why you would want one on an mx5. The stock one is so light it is not funny.
On an old model Porshe 911 you will save nearly 100 kg by doing guards, doors, bonnet & engine cover.
