Bonnet

[wightman]

Alright peeps,

my bonnet has two medium / large dents in there not a sharpe angle more like a curve if you no what i mean, anyway im looking to get it fixed either with a bonnet re-spray or a now bonnet, to which is my question, this should fit my 2000 S3 or any 1997-2001 bonnet like this should be a striaght swop?

Any bonnet should fit yes, however bonnets are pretty tricky to get to sit right if your planning on putting it on yourself

 

[wightman]

just got a quote from a good body repair that ive used in the past and it was £40 it they will just pop out or 120-140quid for a full re-spray and dents taken out.
what you think of that?

 

[rodenal]

120 quid sounds fine for spraying, however remember if they cant pop the dents out they'll just be filling them with cataloy - i wouldnt want that to be honest

this may be as cheap and less hassle if you have a dent master in your area

 

[wightman]

A3 and S3 have the same part number for the bonnet.
