Hi, my name is Adrian and I will be continuing the story of Beta Coupé 2.0, 1980, that I am restoring currently.

The engine is nearly ready,




Next step will be to revise the gearbox.

I have a question - as the car has a front bonnet from 1 series, I would like to change it to second series 2.0 (the one with long plastic). I found interesting one but from volumex (with mound).
Would that be to big change to instal a volumex front bonnet on a 1980 2.0 beta coupe? I understand that car would lose a little from originality - but would that be much in your opinion?

I am rather a fan of originality but here I am bit unsure

Thanks

Bonnets are interchangeable but you may need to change the bonnet hinges too if you want to fit a later radiator grille and lights/surrounds. Or an earlier bonnet/grille to a later car!

Thanks!
The car is serie 3, 1980, coupe, so old type front grill.
Overally - from esthetic point of view - would a volumex bonnet fit third serie coupe 2.0?
