bonnets 3/4 vs 5/6

[funkytown]

i thought these were the same

have i been mislead? ..same same or different around the lights?

I'm pretty sure the headlights are the same shape from version 4 onwards. Not sure about version 3 (pre-facelift). I have seen a version 6 grill and headlights on a version 4 with nothing else changed and they seemed to fit fine with the bonnet (Peanut_xtra's car)

ver3-6 bonnet are the same AKA honey cone vent, the older ones are like fish fin vents

sweet, so they fit over the lights completely the same, no grill change etc required.

version 1-2 and version 3-6s are the two differences in bonnets.

Afaik the grills between 3-6 are slightly different but meh

yes as i understood it the top of the light profile that meets the bonnet is the same on the 3/4 and 5/6 but the inside edge that meets the grill is a bit different. Thus you can use the same bonnet for either version, as long as the lights and grill are from the same version.

A clubsubber raised the question to me the other day so i was just checking.

(ignoring v1/2 coz i dont care)

v3-6 bonnets are all identical, there is no difference around the lights/grill area. There is only a difference comparing v3-6 to 1/2 bonnets/light/grill

IMO your time would be better spend finding some stock red/white tail lights haha
