age is a starting point. and then what it is. each version has features that ID it.

 

some reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini

 

 

and pictures of your car would help as said before.

I would say Mk5 as well. Hard to tell but appears to have repeaters on wings indicative of Mk5 onward. Would also have had discs as standard.

all bonnets fit the hole. you just need one to fit the hinges. (as we said many threads ago) so as yours is nit an early car most later bonnets will fit. not the latest as the catches are in the wrong place. unless it is a even younger shell which we can not tell from the supplied images.
