RS 2000 bonnet

[Jesmat]

Hi All. Anyone know if a MK11 4 door Ghia bonnet will fit onto a MK11 4 door RS 2000? And what sort of dollars should you expect to pay for one with just some slight surface rust. Thanks.

No, the RS2000 has a slightly longer bonnet...

Thanks jpd80. Any clues on where I might source one? What others parts on a Ghia are not suitable for an RS?

From memory, the radiator /bonnet slam panel is still the same, it's the plastic front nose parts and bonnet that's different.

This old, you might need to check out UK supplies, not sure there's much locally to help.
I had an orange two door when I was young but sold her in 1982..

Don't know how good or bad this stuff is or how old the link is:

You're welcome, there's an aluminium spacer that goes in the manual shifter to make it short throw, UK might have the RS2000 instrument cluster too.
