I went the other way - when I bought mine it had the Mkq stuff but was a Mk4 shell with the internal hinges and square rear lamps so kind of did not look right. I bought the genuine bonnet lip from MOSS Spares and attached it to the bonnet with self tappers all along, infact the same self tappers used to hold the top finishing strip onto the lip!

I have the old MK1 stuff hanging up in my garage if you want to go the whole way, its the stainless slatted type with a space for external bonnet release and the moustache and end bits. PM me if you are interested - would only want some beers!

Pm'd! :proud:

Looks great! Are you going to leave the end bits off? The previous owner used clear silicone to bond them to the body work other than drill holes and fix, they held well and I have since removed with no trace of them, which I appreciated!
