dansynth03 10 Posted May 9, 2013 Hi, I'm new to this, so hope I am doing things correctly! Basically my engine decided to try and jump out of the bonnet because its rear mount was faulty. The result of this was a bent and paint damaged bonnet. I have been told that a repair and respray is likely to cost upward of £250, whereas a simple respray of an undamaged bonnet would be around £150. Better still (according to the paint guy I spoke to) would be to simply get a bonnet in the correct colour! Easier said than done, I'm finding! I have seen a few late model bonnets going on Ebay for around £50 - £65, but have yet to see a black one. Anyone out there got one that isn't faded or peeling lacquer? I will happily pay £75 for the right one. Cheers in advance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

twin45 1 Posted May 10, 2013 got a black late spec bonnet £40 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dansynth03 10 Posted May 12, 2013 Hi twin45, Could you let me know what condition the black bonnet is in, and if possible the paint code too? My car is still with my mechanic, so I can't check the paint code until mid week, but I'm sure it is Brilliant Black Metallic: LA9V, rather than the plain Black: LO41. Thanks for the reply.
