Ke20 Things

[frasian]

hey guys i recently crashed my 20 but blah blah what i need to know is will a early model corolla bonnet, (more aggressive centre) fit the later model car ? everything seems straight the only difference is the front where the early is straight and the newer one is curved where the headlights are, and are the gaurds the same aswell because my passenger gaurd is fine but my driveers side gaurd and bonnet is not and i have just brought 2 early model ones for it.

 

also what other radiators fit a ke20, a new one is 250 but if there is a bigger radiator i can get from a newer car id much prefer that.

 

thanks guys and help appreciated.

Not 100% but I think the two bonnets are different lengths, so you will need both guards to match up with the bonnet.

You can use early or late model ke20 bonnets with either guards, it doesn't matter.

The only difference is the early ke20 bonnet is straight along the front edge with a raised section of about 20cm across running through the centre.

The later ke20 bonnet has a slight v shaped edge along the front and about a 1cm across raised section that runs throught the centre.

 

But you would really want to use the correct bonnet for that model as as they also used different grilles between early and late models, and may look a little odd. :yes:

ahh so it would fit up its just then the grill, i like the plastic pointy syle more then the jailbar but if it looks odd i might just have tom or i could make it custom and weld the bottom of the later one to the earlyer one :)

 

thanks

As I said, I wasnt sure. Just that the two different types were reffered to as the lond nose and the short nose. Learn something new all the time
