Right its bonnet time, lol well as some of you might know my cav is in the rather rare colour of spectral blue, since the pre-facelift cavs in my colour were SRi's like mine and the late GSi's its becoming v.hard to source parts, i have a bit of corrosion under the bonnet that has been there since i got the car but tbh it needs a new bonnet and so far I have had no luck finding a pre-facelift bonnet in specy blue but i however have found a few facelift ones which means no more badge on the front, again its a quick shop but what you think?

I wouldn't ive sent panels through the post and they always get dented - always something like a bonnet will have stuff thrown at it lent on it etc
Id get a quality insurance approved part and use that

Ive always found they are a quality fit, but cheap ones are cheap for a reason
