Sheps awesome 2013 jimny

So, quick question. any ideas if a 2013 bonnet will fit earlier model (read 2008) Jimnys? I asked the local suzi dealer who were as helpful as you'd expect so I asked if I could just remove a bonnet from one on the lot to check real quick. They did not appreciate the idea :whistle: appreciate any help.

pretty sure you would need the front 1/4 panels to mate, as they are different im sure.
i am also interested in this as i loooove the scoop, just needs the plastic bashed out of it so its functional!

Cheers Ozjoel I figured it might be something like that might just graft in a patrol one.

You definitely need the 2013 front wings too.

The new wings are 3-4inches higher at the front than the 98-12 cars were. However the internal framework hasn't changed at all, so the new wings just have plastic infill panels... what a bodge...

The scoop on the bonnet has plastic blanking plugs, so has no function. i dont think there is even a hole through the bonnet!

You could find a Jap 660cc bonnet? the 660 bonnet is the same as the 1.3's but with the scope and is meant for the intercooler so will have a cooling effect!


After seeing Karls 660 up close last week i want one! They certainly go well, left me standing!

Started fitting my suspension today only to realise that the radius arms have a fair bit of corrosion on them so I have had to strip off what ever the existing coating is and finish them properly.

I am a little annoyed as I thought that if I spent the cash I would be able to just bolt the kit in.

What arms are they mate?
