Insurance now right them off as there are no bonnets available new. Plus there 500 new plus 300-400 for fitting painting and labour!
A used one is around 300, from someone like me, and around 200 to paint it, again by someone like me.
What colour is it?

If you know where they are, im sure you could make a small fortune on them?

hmmmmmm there are loads of after market bumpers etc, could there be a market for aftermarket bonnets?
i spose they would have to be carbon fiber tho, so dunno if that would match up?
ps why would YOU lose your no claims etc?
and if it is written off, then dont you get the option to buy back at reduced rates, so if you got a couple of K for it, that could go towards repairs.
or has white van man offered a cash settlement?

I had a smash in my red na and needed (guess!) new bonnet & new wings. Insurers made full 3 ring circus of the claim. No parts write off etc etc. Independant bodyshop had the car for a month before the bits arrived in the worlds biggest crate. One bonnet in black primer and 2 wings in the wrong shade of red. Crate had Russian shipping tags out of St Petersberg..they wouldn't tell me the source except obviously somewhere east of Warsaw. Body shop guy strangely enough was a Russian. This was in '05 so they were possibly the last?

I've just had a wee look on the internet and there's a company http://www.thepartsgateway.co.uk (sorry don't know how to do link ) that claim they can source bonnets? You have to register with them though and send them your details........
