Default Bonnet question?....

On classics, what year did they start putting on the alluminum bonnets? I ask because I want one on my classic, will I need a face lift one, or they do one for 93-96 aswell? mine is a 93.

Thumbs up

My STi Ver3 has the aluminum bonnet, proper light weight.

Also come to think of it the boot is aswell.
