   Just bought a VTR which has front end damage. The bonnet won't shut down on the catch because the slam panel is slightly lifted and theres a crack in the grill. Anyone know what I can do to fix it and where i can find the cheapest parts???
   Cheers

   As long as there is no damage to the chassis or the legs, then you can just get a new slam panel, they easily bolt on and off and I'm pretty sure there is a guide somewhere on here if you search for it.

   the slam panal just unbolts. if its mk2 then only need to remove the lights and front bumper before taking the slam panal out. unsure of what else needs to be removed for mk1 though as ive never tried with one. feel free to correct me if ive forgot something.
