Does this mean that a bog standard Chimaera bonnet will fit my S2 (no spots)? As my bonnet has been damaged by our friendly local council (who won't take responsibility - long story ) I have to do something about it at some time.


No, the Chim front end is totally different. The S4 / S3C bonnet was known as the the Chim bonnet due to the style of vents - they were used when the Chim was designed.

Cheers,

Does the front of the S series really look similar to the Chimaera? Rich...

Yes it was me at Curborough in the S3c with the slatted bonnet. Bit of a hike from tractor driving country, so with 7.30 a.m. scrutineering decided to pitch tent at the circuit next to the Hillman Avenger Owners Club.... no need for the mogadon that night

One slight problem... The S bonnet includes the wings and the whole of the front. The Chimaera bonnet is just that the bonnet with no wings, front or anything. The S might look a little strange as a result.
