Bonnets anyone?

Post by Mr_Joey_Monster1 »

I am in dire need of a new bonnet.
Cant seem to find one for a descent price anywere.
Ebay is full of carbon fibre and ridiculous plastic things with great big gaping holes in them.
What happened to a standard Corsa B bonnet?

Long story short.
My bonnet release cable broke. Left it off the catch. Took it for a little drive. BANG! Up it came, smashed window and scuttle panel.
Baught a second hand bonnet from a scrap dealers. Same thing happened again.

Completely my fault i will admit.

Time has come to get Stella out of the garage and on the road.
All i need is a replacement bonnet and i am sorted.

If anyone has one or knows were i can get one from for cheap(ish) then please let me know.
I am up near Hull and as for colour. Its origionaly silver, but i would like a black one.
But too be honest, any colour will do, if it does the job.
Shwing!

OFFICAL DVLA DATA:

735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts :rant:
