Yes its a face lift bonnet, but why replace it with a heavy carbon fibre one?
Alloy is the way to go

From the rest of the car, it's fitted to a 97-99 car, so facelift, yes.

Specsavers the pair of you.

It's a facelift bonnet, and it'll probably be lighter than the OP's steel Sport bonnet.

it looks to me like its made for facelift lights but pre facelift grill. the facelift bonnet should rise at the front to allow for the grill where as the earlier one has a less deep grill. looks wierd to me tbh.
