[Wanted] Bonnet with Spare Wheel Carrier

Hi all,

On the look out for a 300tdi or earlier bonnet with spare wheel carrier. Colour doesn't matter too much although white would be excellent.

Also would be happy exchanging my current white TD5 bonnet for the above.

Located South West Scotland but happy to travel to collect.

Many thanks

Hi
Have you thought about fitting the parts yourself?

I have fitted a couple over the years took an hour or so. All parts are normally available on line.Just a thought. 2010 XS USW

Had considered this although don't think the TD5 bonnet is up to the weight of the spare wheel.

Had also thought about getting a standard 300tdi or older bonnet and installing the mount myself although feel it may be cheaper and easier just to buy one with the mount already installed.

Cheers for the recommendation though.

Wasn't there a point in time where it became illegal (or similar) to have a spare mounted on the bonnet due to obstructing the view etc. 1995 300 Tdi Epsom Green - It's a keeper.

Think I have a TD5 spec spare wheel on the bonnet kit somewhere in my unit, from memory it was made by Front Runner

If it's something you'd consider selling then give us a message,
would be very interested.

Cheers

And if you fit a pre Td5 bonnet (as in, a 300 one) onto a Td5 vehicle, there's not much gap between the rocker cover and the bottom of the bonnet.... especially with the plastic soundproofing in place... It'll rattle like a rattly thing if it touches. I had that problem with mine.
