D2 bonnet repair possible or replacement ????

I'd love the chance of playing with air scoops on a bonnet,,
I mean once it has a hole,,
why not add a few??? but modern ones, reversed and below ground so to speak,
like these but, cough, (a lot!) smaller:p

It would be an interesting exercise to see whats possible, allowing for rain, bonnet supports and underbonnet noise,

You could mount a spare wheel on the bonnet to cover the hole. Now there's an idea.

Can be repaired easily by most competent panel beaters. I had a bonnet and door repaired after holes were punched in them. One was done with a post putting up a carport. Insurance should cover you but will depend on the quote and excess. Had mine fixed by insurance with no issues.

And it would look like a "Proper Land Rover":)
How much is a bonnet, second hand? Colour doesn't matter, I'd spray it matt black.

Rimmer's in the UK sell genuine bonnets for $843.03 plus freight (which could be the killer). No duty as under $1000. Plus the cost of paint could make it an expensive fix.

I think you will find that the freight is included in the cost for GST, I'd be happy to be wrong.
