    all about what you want mate, people will say yes others no, go with wat you think, imo any mod thats on a higher class of the same model car that you add to yours will always look better and more unique.

    I'd say why not, as long as it looks like the original design and it's metal, not fiberglass. Not that i've tried it myself, but i have read and heard quite a few people have fitting issues with fibreglass.

    Where would one be able to find a monaro bonnet sprayed and fitted for 600? Do they use your existing bonnet or have one made?

    What about the ones that have small vents on the bonnet with the monaro ones ?. Seen one but don't know where it was.

    Would one of those Monaro bonnets fit on my VX Calais?
    Australia says 'NO' to chev badges.
