    Default VK bonnet

    The bonnet on my Berlina is in shocking condition. For some reason, it is the only panel affected with these problems. The paint is flaking off and it's starting to get bits of surface rust and more significant rust around the lip near the grill. Colour is white.

    Obviously one way to go would be to take it to a panel beater and get it fixed up, but the easier way would be to find another white bonnet. Do any bonnets from the pre-VK models fit a VK?

    Cheers

    you will never get the same colour. itll look the same at the wreckers, then be totally different when fitted.

    panel beater couldnt be more than 300 bucks to get a nice job and piss into your guards.

    stop being a tightarse

    Ha!

    I'm not too fussed about slight differences in colour, this is just to make it look less sh!tty while I slowly fix it up. Most of the panels are slightly different shades of white anyway, I just want to get rid of the ghetto flaky paint.

    Cheers for the help, time to start trawling the wreckers.
