R32 Gtst With Gtr Bonnet?

[chalky]

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??

[OMGGTR]

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.

what he said

[chalky]

so the gaurds wont affect anything?

[RBLUV]

no

[OMGGTR]

sweet ... so is the support pannel thing ur talking about the part the latch clips into when u close it ? on the chassis?

[RBLUV]

no that is the latch, the latch support is the thing the latch is attached to.

you mean the hinge thing that hinges the bonnet?

from my knowledge.

you need the gtr bonnet + gtr bonnet hinges.

i think by latch he means the hinges any way.

[RBLUV]

the hinges up the top near the windscreen? you dont need those gtst ones are fine

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.

Yeah the 32 swaps fine.

The 33 however is a pain needing many 33 gtr bits to work.
