Well i did the unthinkable and stuffed the front of my G20 into a pole. Does anyone know any source for a replacement Bonnet. Will be costly to ship to US but can't think of an alternative at the moment. thanks

I didn't however I got an email from another poster saying:
Anyway what with running a G20 as a trackday car I've kept tabs on potential bodywork suppliers in case my enthusiasm exceeds my talent at some point... There's a Ginetta racer by the name of Mark based near Coventry, UK whom I've spoken with a couple of times for advice running my car & it came out in conversation that he was working on a set of G20 bodywork moulds to be able to supply parts. Might be worth contacting him for a bonnet - all I have is a cellphone number for him XXXXXXXXXX.
Not supposed to post contact info on public forum but if you PM me I'll give it to you. and if anything works out please let me know.

Foggy did as instructed but didn't you say PM feature wasn't working. If that's the case should i leave my email address in public forum? I can't recall how you got my email. maybe in my profile? Getting older and more confused by the day. Probably contributed to bonnet crunch in the first place.

I was able to purchase a bonnet from the source i mentioned about a month ago. a huge ordeal and expense getting it to the US but it looks good and is being fitted to the car. Its nice to know the factory is selling it as well. BTW. since i was paying for the shipping i purchased the RadTech large capacity radiator for the G20 and that came looking great as well. About to be installed. looks like easy fit and much more capacity than stock unit. i was having a temp problem possibly due to stresses of forced induction and added under bonnet temp of turbo.
