my mini has a mk3 type bonnet with the lip, if i bought a mk1 type bonnet without the lip, what difference would it make other than not having that bit of trim above my grill ?

[Stevee]

the brackets to fit to the body are differnt

mark 3 are outside of the bonnet

mark 1 are inside

Mark 3 bonnet for a Van has no lip but has brackets for normal mark 3

[birdy b4]

so i could fit a mk1 bonnet with pins ?

[samsfern]

yep, thats what im doing, apart from mines a fibreglass one, and ive already got pins fitted on the mk3 bonnet, which im changing from.

you can take the spotwelds off of the lip on a mk 3 bonnet to get the mk 1 look.
