G27 Bonnet

[A11SPIDER]

Hi,
I'm on to re-build my LHD G20, châssis back from sand blasting and powder coating, and i'ld like to swap my original "Mx5 eye" front bonnet to a G27 with round lights.
Does any one knows were i can find one ?
I've read all the old topics about the moulds story and the difficult relationship with the actual GINETTA board,by the way, i've recived the same laconic answer to my email as everyone that have wrote to them...



Thanks for your help and reply.

i was in the same situation around 4 or 5 years ago....i searched and searched, but nobody could tell me where the moulds are gone or if the moulds are existing or not.

there was spadge hopkins from ginetta heritage who has done a few bonnets in the oldschool g4 style but than his company was suddenly closed.

finally i found a NOS bonnet from a private seller at ebay. it was the model with the fixed 5.75" headlamps instead the flip-lamps. the same seller also gave me a front splitter for a g27....interestingwise this fits a g20 bonnet.

Contact the owner's club: www.ginetta.org
Last year we rescued a shed load (more a barn load) of old moulds from a field being sold by Ginetta.
I cannot be sure that there were G27 moulds in there, but I think we now have some moulds for most cars.
If not there will be someone who can point you in the right direction I'm sure.

Gin15 do you have a pic of the front splitter please? Might be interested in it for my G20. Ta!
