Ah, i see you said 'most' models. That means they did make metal jobbies too. My 1984 19RD has a metal bonnet. Looks original to the motor[has period rust etc] and she dosnt look to have been in a shunt. So its fair to assume they did make both concurrently.benifotrem1 wrote:I have a brochure for the bx dated 09/1985 and it quotes (The bx is the first mass production car to use the latest synthetic materials on large, non structural areas like the hatchback door, and on most models, the bonnet also)
