iv had a smash in my r32 gtst type m, hit a kangaroo, smashed the shit out of the bonnet.. ive been wanting to put a gtr bonnet and grille on for ages so now i have an excuse! =D

If i was to put the bonnet on will it fit direct n sit flush with the gtst gards or will i also need gtr gards??

The only bits you need are the bonnet, bonnet latch and the latch support panel. My car already had GTR headlights so my grill just clipped on.

oh.. i thought the gtr bonnets sit abit further up than the gtst's?

No its a perfect straight swap with the hinges. but you will need the folded metal upright that bolts i think from the radiator support rail to the bottom of the radiator. If you don't know what i'm talking about then pop your bonnet and it is the thing that the bonnet latch & horns bolt to. You just remove everything from it and bolt it up to the gtr one. You may need to undo the plastic splash tray under the car (if it still has one) to obtain easier access to the lower bolt. You may need to mount the horns facing the other way and bend the latch down in a vice or something to clear the gtr grill. Well i did anyway. If you can't find a gtr bonnet that comes with the upright then haggle on price because its not worth as much on the market IMO.
