Bonnet

[NAH]

Ok, any of you chaps know where I can get hold of a bonnet for an '04 Monaro CV8? I have searched (still searching) the LS1 forums & links & have mailed a couple of companies in Oz. I was hoping to source something in the UK.

Fibreglass would be pref & the VXR type (air intake 'nostrils') might be the way to go but ideally, I want the standard one. Any links to scrapyards would be good - I've turned up nothing so far.

Cheers.

Sorry Neil can't help with the bonnet, but I notice you have bilsteins fitted, I've been considering a suspension upgrade but haven't been able to find any Koni/bilsteins advertised, how are you fiding them?

OK, the ride is obviously firmer (bit too firm sometinmes) but I prefer that. The car feels more planted than the stock arrnagement but it's still not great. Bo55 has got the AVO set-up so it'd be worth having a word with him.

LSV supplied & fitted mine & Wortec & Monkfish can do the AVO kit. Are you going to the Ace on the 21st Jan?

Top man, have sent them an enquiry.

I am not sure if the VY sedan bonnet fits the VY(V2 seriesIII) Monaro as it has a different front edge. You might have to check that out.
I think it just takes a standard VT type bonnet, ie the HSV GTS(R) that you have a few of over there.
I can only point you at Oz places unfortunately.

VY bonnet is different as motomk says, you need VT style. VY one would fit my ute though
