Which Classic years/trims have aluminum bonnets?
 
As per the thread title, I'd like to know which Classic years and/or trims were equipped with aluminum bonnets.

Thanks in advance.:cool:

I think all JDM classics have them

Not true, as far as i'm aware. Early WRXs might have done, i'm not 100% sure, but later ones definitely didn't. STi's, R's and RA's all did though.

i thought the uk cars had the heavy steel ones for increased crash protection laws?

oh and the way to tell is open it, then open the bonnet of ANY car thats not got gas struts fitted to it,, feels like your lifting the car

Is it a completely standard WRX? If so, i'm absolutely amazed that it has an alloy bonnet. I'm pretty sure i'm right in saying it "shouldn't" have one!!

Did put in the small disclaimer of 'i think':) and yes the early wrxs did have them
