I'm looking for a second hand front bonnet (complete assembly if possible) for a V8S.
I have found sources for replacement pannels but nobody offering a s/h front bonnet.

Can anybody help?

Best regards,
Stephan

Thanks TVRJohn, as said, I'm looking for a complete assembly, not only the fibreglas. The entire front is missing and lost on my car, si I would Need numerous parts to complete a naked bonnet just coming out of a mould.

Best regards, Stephan

Surface and Design fitted a new bonnet to a friends car couple of years ago after a little "bump", so they are available new but never seen a V8 bonnet for sale second hand ( about 1000 Euros new)

Indicators are very rare, a guy in Holland was doing reproductions. Found them... clicky

Bumper strips are another problem (if you need them) don't think anyone has managed to find exactly the correct profile?

Genuine "Lucas" spot lights are again very rare but "Ring" do a very close copy..... clicky again

Headlamps and bowls etc. are, as you probably know, common to many British "classics" and easy to source.

Thanks Philpot for your answer, sorry for the late reply - I was busy travelling.

Maybe it's a better idea to sell the car as is to somebody looking for an easy project. So if anybody is looking for a very nice V8S LHD project with a damaged bonnet (rest of the car shouldn't be a problem, just a smell ding at the left hand rear and a broken rear lens) just give me a ring +49 176 18181294)
