Converting short bonnets.
 
Start with clean short bonnet and unroll the leading edge

Make up a new leading section and fit into place

Make up an inner section

Modify the catch so it still fits the 'short bonnet' slam panel

Fill and prime

Well Done! I assume that is an SC/Carrera backdate.

Are those Damon's (Series900) turnsignal filler sections? Maybe you have a similar source on the other side of the pond.

I imagine you could PM Chris. He probably has them at his shop. I purchased his sunroof delete panel earlier. He boxes and ships them over.
