Transporting a boot lid and bonnet

[Brunty's Dad 10]

My VR6 was collected from the body shop less than 2 weeks ago. Beautiful aqua blue pearl. On holiday in Scotland yesterday when a sheep ran out from behind a parked vehicle about 15 feet in front of me. It could have been worse, 1 dead sheep, nearside headlight unit and indictor destroyed and the corner of the bonnet (resprayed inside and out) l have traced the lights and a bonnet should one be needed. Does anyone know if a bonnet will fit inside a Corrado with the rear seats down or removed? The same source has a boot lid which my son needs, hence the double question.

David tells me that the answer is somewhere on the forum but I can't find it.

Cheers

Ian

It's a question that's come up many times over the years - but apparently a bonnet will not go in a Corrado no matter how much interior trim you remove and what angles you try to fit it in :(

You can fit a boot in with the seats down....

So leave your damaged bonnet with the vendor and put your sons new boot in the back of you C?

For future reference, you can fit a boot lid and two front doors in a 58 plate seat Ibiza

Going off at a tangent, apologies, as I can't find a suitable thread. Apart from the bonnet I lost the N/S headlight unit. Traced one from a breaker and fitted it within the week. S**t happens! Replacement unit shattered by a stone on M6 on the way home. (Really don't like that road south of Preston). I have the choice of a dozen or more offside units but very limited N/S. The reflectors are undamaged and I have been told that it is possible to replace just the lens? GSF list them but without delivery. Out of stock within 100 miles of home. Anyone know of a source? Second option. Can early model lights be adapted/fitted to late VR6.

As a last resort, are the American modern replacements legal in the UK? I also found units on ebay with French yellow reflectors. Can these be replaced by the undamaged parts in my light unit? I can afford to take my time as some strong clear adhesive tape will keep me legal. Any advice appreciated.
