Bonnets, are 2 door and 4 door the same???

Postby Jexintag » Wed Oct 25, 2006 9:03 am

I need a new bonnet for my 1982 2door kp60. Have found one from a 4door on trade me, just wondering if anyone knows if there is a difference between the 2door and 4door bonnets.

Thanks :D

2 or 4 door makes no difference to bonnet, just make sure its the same bodystyle though as there are 3 different bonnets (bugeye, flat front and drop hatch).

this would be the flat front - yours would be the drop-hatch type isnt it? flat fronts look ugly.

yeah that first pic you posted is the same as your bonnet.
its different to the first pic I posted though; so yes yours would be a drop hatch. maybe the people on TM dont know what they're talking about - i cant access it at work. ill try the other computer later if i can be bothered :lol:

The one on trademe is for a flat front, it will fit your car as long as your grill isn't sloped. Post a pic of your car and I can confirm for you.
