Has anyone with the facelift car completed a bonnet replacement from a prefacelift car . Mine has a dent in it after someone kindly took my headlight while parked. so I am talking only about changing bonnet and keeping the lights, front bumper as is. Are they interchangeable ? I know the pre and post facelift car have different headlights, grille/ bumper assembly, so cautious if there are subtle changes to the profile and fit ....the reason I'm asking is I can only find the earlier prefacelift car bonnets on EBay. The breakers I have checked with and also Peugeot parts dont seem to be able to confirm .

Get it repaired ?
Its possible but seems more cost effective to replace with an undamaged panel. Theres a dent in the wheel arch section of the bonnet from the headlamp / bumper line to almost the door . Its not noticeable unless you know its there ..... I've tried two bodyshops and they have quoted probably what might be reasonable for labour and paint involved ( mines white pearl which is apparently harder to paint , and they need to paint the entire panel >) but have advised the repair may still be visible and suggested replacing the bonnet as a whole.

I could live with it its cosmetic only.... Its just nagging at me ...knowing someone damaged it and drove off, and also knowing its there means I always see it :) and I want it fixed.
