Hi everyone my 1997 estate bonnet has damage just wondered if a phase 2 Yreg saloon bonnet would fit my car ? thanks in advance ..Rob

No it won't... Well, it will but you'd need to also replace the whole front end (headlights, bumper, wings). If you do, you'll have a D9 front end with a D8 arse.

Sounds good to me I don't think you have to change the wings though, not the outer ones anyway. Probably the inner wings, slam panel, radiator panel... Let us know how you get on

What's an "inner" and "outer" wings?

Ask a pterodactyl.

Seriously? Umm, the bit behind the tyre.

Heh, wheel arch liners?

You'd definitely need to change the "outer" wings as the D9 headlights are different - and they cut into the wings.

Thanks for the answers chaps will wait until the correct one turns up

Aww

Why don't you just swap the D8 bonnet with another er...D8 bonnet with the same paint code? You can get a decent one for £30-50 at a breakers.

Swapped mine a while back due to lacquer peel on the original.

Mind you it was my second purchase due to a certain courier company knackering the first one I had delivered
Needless to say I changed the next one when I picked it up. Only 4 bolts and a bit of alignment when I got home.
