09 Bonnet

Without ringing Toyota does anyone know how much a new or second hand bonnet might be for an 09 ATX?

I dunno, but I noticed these guys the other day. Might be interesting to see how good they are if the price from Toyota works out to be a little on the high side:

eBay - TOYOTA AURION GSV40 BONNET 10/06--08/09

Thanks for that, I have emailed the company to see if I can pick one up as I'm nearby. $160 seems cheap I don't imagine it would be genuine Toyota for that price but it will do the trick anyway. Cheers!

Hey mate, just check and see if you can return the part if it does not line up correctly.

I say that cause we used to sell non genuine panels at my old work and eventually stopped as the panel beaters could never get them to fit properly.

You may get a perfect one but sometimes there is a reason why thay are so cheap.

The rumour was that they bought the old panel stamps from the genuine factory supplier, so it had probably punched out quite a few panels by the time they got it.

It is very cheap though compared to genuine (around $500 or so new) so its probably worth checking out :)

Thanks for this information. I had planned on purchasing from their warehouse on Monday. The company have a good rep on ebay but I'll ask about that anyway. Cheers mate!

To add further to this thread if anyone is interested. I purchased a genuine Toyota bonnet from an wholesale auto parts supplier in Melbs at a cost of $330. including delivery. (The list price was$423. plus GST.) I decided to skip the ebay one as the guy said "It should fit" when I went to pick it up and I noted there were new parts in his skip bin outside the factory Not a positive look for me anyway.
