Would be easiest to buy one second hand in your colour, contact a few scrappies around your area or nationally.


Then get a courier to send it to you, and any mechanically minded person should be able to fit it, its just a case of undoing a few bolts and changing a few wires.

Might be cheaper and easier to get the dent pulled out though

should be pretty east.

get 3 people 2 to hold and the other to do the bolts, i duno mine by myslef and it was just a right ole pain.

thankss!
and its done for every one that helped!
when someone mentioned changing the wires is that for my key?? I totally forgot about the lock! How does that work???

[betty02]

the lock you can just take out easily enoguh, have a fiddle on your old bonnet as you;'ve got nothing to damage one you know, you then know the best way without damaging if u get me mate? and the wires are for boot ligh, and reg plate lights etc!
