Wanted: Bonnet for 93 Xantia in Midnight Blue

Hi, Is there anyone out there breaking a Xantia with a decent bonnet finished in Midnight Blue (Colour Code EPG) that will fit on a 1993 VSX - I'd prefer fitting a good used (factory finished) bonnet to getting a respray. I suffered a front end smash a few years back and the paint job on the bonnet has deteriorated relative to the rest of the car.

Am I correct in assuming that any Series 1 bonnet would fit (ie chevrons on grill or bonnet)?

Thanks

I would imagine so and it should be possible to fit the Chevrons back in their rightful pace on a later bonnet...

It was bad, terribly bad of Citroen to move the Chevrons off the bonnet on later MK1s

On the grill looks so much better though jim rather than tacked onto the bonnet as an afterthought

Well I'm sure we can both agree that the grill should not be part of the bonnet

Offset BX-style is the best place for it.
