mk2 Service Bonnet underneath pic request

[MrChips]

Umm.. quite simple I guess, but does anyone have, or would some kind soul mind taking a couple of pics of the underneath of the service bonnet (i.e. the actual back of the bonnet and what the fibreglass looks like), and also of the general area around the fans and filler caps?

My car had a repair a couple of years ago and used a non OEM service bonnet but over time it has warped and now the fitment isn't great. I'm not sure whether to go back via insurance or just to bite the bullet and try to source another new one. I know that tvr parts are advertising them at £900!

I guess it's frustrating but it's too long to look for anything back from the supplier as the fitment was fine for quite a while so if I do get it sorted, I just want it put back to proper factory spec. I believe that the factory ones may be made stronger so just wondering if that's likely to be true?

If I went to racing gr.... tvr parts then hopefully they'd let me to a first test fit before purchase!

Little bump...

No one has a spare mk2 bonnet lying around do they that I can maybe buy??

Couple of pics for you MrChips, don't have a spare one but should look something like this:









Good luck in the search for one, someone must have one knocking around somewhere

I have a spare service bonnet, but it's not for sale. However, I'm sure S&D kept the mould for it , so they might be able to make a new one for you.

Thank you both!

There does look like there's a couple of differences, also in the profile of the main bonnet around the fans so it looks worthwhile trying to at least get the fitment sorted better than it is at present.

I've emailed S&D a couple of times with no reply and phoned today and left a message so hopefully they'll come through with an option!
