Original or new? You could try Paintbox in the UK, or how about the Otto Bros - didn't they make one for Dangerine? ???

If you've got a decent metal one, you could make your own? A guy I knew made his own fibreglass 1302 bonnet because he couldn't buy one, and his friend made a whole fibreglass Fastback shell! If you can make the mould you can make the panels!
Or failing that, cut up the flip front from the original TikiMadness? I know it'll have no return lips, but it'll be light!

didn't think off cutting off the front of the old car ;)

Just spoke to Shane from the paintbox and allthough he couldn't help me it was a usefull phone call(learned a lot )

I'll keep looking for awhile before I decide to make something myself.

At the monster garage episode of the Sauer Kraut gasser they also used a fiberglass bonnet. I thought it had an Empi logo on it.
