Cool Poss bonnet swap

Hi folks

I am thinking of swapping my pre-facelift bonnet for a facelift bonnet. A tall order maybe but you never know lol

Anyway, mine's an alloy bonnet in 406 silver. I would like the same colour and also the vents like mine has got. Pic below



If the vents are standard on the facelift then I would need some cash to fund new ones
There are a few little stone chips and a little dint here and there (not many and not bad) for age of car.

What you got and would need to meet up and change over as I don't have another bonnet for spare

Thanks for looking

dont think you can just change bonnet (i could be wrong) but i think you need lights and grill to otherwise it'll gap or may not even shut but again i could be wrong, as facelift lights have a sharp angel change (near grill) where as pre ones are smooth gradual sweep and this will be reflected in bonnet im sure

Don't really want to buy one and have this left over etc. Sorry

As Blu said, the grille, lights and bumper are already facelift parts. Only really want to change the bonnet as I think it would fit a bit better than my pre-facelift one. So not really too fussed about swapping it tbh
