Title: GTV Bonnet Lining.
Post by: Simon Aarons on May 24, 2009, 12:22:08 AM
Well..... as my car does not have one, and every lining i have ever seen is ripped and falling apart, I just ordered one of these....

Simon,


Do you know if they do a 4 Cylinder version. Couldn't seem to find anything on their website

Hi Paul,

They say it will fit all GTV models, and it should.. the bonnets only differ in the exterior i believe - underneath is still the same shape.

Simon,

Look great.

Did the bonnet liner come with the clips or did you have to source those yourself?

You didn't go with the Alfa emblem on the material?

The liner doesn't come with those clips - half of those are x-mas tree clips from Bursons and some are original Alfa ones....the Alfa ones are quite brittle but they are just there while Bursons order some more of their own in. Unfortunately the clips alone won't hold the lining in place - it sags too much so some adhesive was required.

No alfa emblem as that plastic cover will probably have to come off one day meaning the lining will probably have to be cut... plus the emblem could only be stuck to the smooth side and the ruff side looks much nicer and more original!
