Discovery 2 bonnet on Discovery 1!?

Struman92 · Mar 31, 2013

Hi all
My bonnet on my discovery 1 is looking a little worse for wear so was thinking about replacing in for one in better knick.
I have found a discovery 2 bonnet on ebay the same colour as my car and was wondering if it will fit straight on!?

Many thanks

Except the boot door all the body panels on a D2 are different, so we are told.

So the answer is NO.

Boot door is different too iirc it's bigger and rounder

Couldn't resist it, sorry

Shouldnt you be hunting for a new gearbox instead of bullying people

Haha

Well I've just finished fitting the pedal box and clutch master cylinder and pipework. Bit of an arse of a job when a previous owner decided to stuff the vapouriser and emulators for the LPG right by the brake master grr!

His is fubar

he bought my good box off me to replace it when I got a brand new AW refurb V8 R380 for my project

sidewaysste · Mar 31, 2013

disco147 · Apr 1, 2013

well... i'm still running around with it :lol:

my old mans blew last night good n proper n he said he might have to have that one you sold me n replace it... told him to fook orf n use his jag til he finds his own :lol:

Got a noo abs axle to replace the non-abs one thats on there at the moment so i'll do the lot in one hit once it warms up a bit I think

Dr_evil · Apr 1, 2013

haha isn't his a defender anyway ? In which case he'd need the same conversion pieces I've got for my R380

disco147 · Apr 1, 2013
