Bonnet removal

[KitsonRis]

Just got my nice ally bonnet, which I didn't know was that light!
New bonnet has the hinges on. Is this a hint that the bonnet needs to be swapped with the hinges? Or can I remove them and swap for the ones on the car as from what I can make out you need to remove the wings to remove the hinges from car. Which I cba to do unless I need to

Cant see why you cant bolt the new bonnet to the hinges already on your car?
Im assuming its the same setup as a ph2

I am hoping this! I want to unbolt the bonnet from the car, leaving the hinges and then the new one on. But was wondering why the new one has the hinges still attached to the bonnet, wasn't sure if there was a "trick" or anything to why they have been left on.

No trick, just unbolt the hinges on the new bonnet and bolt it back on the car

Good luck removing the hinges from the Alloy bonnet - they are renowned for snapping .
It's more work fitting the hinges .

Where did you purchase the bonnet?

I have glued it to one hinge as the bolt snapped off in the bonnet I could drill out....that isn't being removed!! I managed to remove the hinges, and then nipped up the bolts for alignment and testing then went to tighten it and one went pop. Rule 1 - use a torque wrench!

Someone was breaking a car on here. I think @midge may have one in a car he is breaking still, look in the car parts sale section to see if it still there
