It is different color, old bonnet is not worth repairing/painting..new one is coming!
It's nearly built..and then just polish!

Looks gorgeous mate done an excellent job on it.

Few questions, maybe in the thread else where but i may have missed it, what is the front splitter from, Mk1 Golf?

Also the vents in the front bumper, can they be retro fitted to a 340's bumper, even if they have no use, they look cool :lol:
