Hinges are different on the later ones.

You might find the Rover bonnet is the same fittingwise as your 1980 UK/UnZud Mini, measure the hinge spacings to be sure. :wink:
The Rover spacing is the same as Oz Clubbies... :shock:

Some of the rover bonnets have brackets for the hinges in close like the Aussie bonnets ,Steve at brickworx had one on eday a while ago.

easy enough to do.

i have rover fronts on both my minis.

bonnet needs hinges in a diferrent spot but with some careful measuring you can make some new ones and weld them on!

i have recently modified my delux to have a mk1 bonnet and grille on it instead of the rover ones i had on there!

it was easy you really shouldent have any problems, only big issue is the hinjes

anything else should be commmon sense.

any questions or want any pics let me know!
