   crashed my saxo the other day by braking into a recovery truck dented and scraped my bonnet. was not happy, so pissed off as my car was in such good condition when I bought it and now its crap now.
   
   so im trying to find a saxo bonnet but I dunno where to look, ive searched all over the internet, on ebay, going to look and see if theres any in some scrapyards, but trouble is, if I find one and its the wrong colour, when I spray it, its just gonna look crap
   
   has anyone ever sprayed the bonnet with a colour match? does it look alright and not knob., can you tell truthly the bonnets been replaced?
   
   Help?!

   As long as the bonnet is fitted properly, sits flush no you wont. Seriously, just keep checking the scrap yards, saxos are forever being taken to them.
   Note what colour code your car is, (in the door sill on a white lable)
   Wait for one to turn up in your local scrap yard, and buy it. Just hope no-one walks over it.

   What colour do you need? Paint code?
   
   Mk1 or mk2
   
   Right O, if you look at motorhog site they have a load of saxos in breaking so you might be in luck. Good thing is they have a branch in Gloucester so they can ship from any other site they have for free. Quite handy.

   Mick pal, I think you need to learn to edit your posts instead of posting multiple.
