Folks,
I need a bonnet for my latest shed. Nice paintwork apart from laquer peeled bonnet. I think the colour is daytona violet, it's a purply mauve type affair.

If anyone could point me in the direction of said bonnet I would be grateful

It's an E36.

Also, does it say anywhere on the car a paincode, or name of colour.

Should be on the near side suspension turret, a label with colour on.

Also bear in mind that coupe/convertible bonnets are different to saloon and compact.

I've got a spare bonnet from a saloon if anyone wants it, free if collected from Shrewsbury.

Thanks wavey hope all is well chum

Tried quarry, it would seem that a madeira violet bonnet from a saloon/touring is as rare as a rare thing...now, a coupe is a different matter

Thanks very much, it is appreciated but I'll be better off either whipping the one off that is currently on the car and spraying it, or looking for a madiera violet one to literally bolt on.

Cheers anyway though. beer

There never seems much large stuff on there due to higher postage charges I guess.
