A VY bonnet wont fit a VX guard so I doubt it would , you would need new guards,lights,bumper,grill,wiper panel etc

[ABS]

He said VZ Monaro not VY Commodore.

[nickh]

actully a VZ monaro bonnet is the same shape of its previous models just now it has the bonnet vents it is the same as any of the vt-vx-v2. at the VZ launch i was chattingo to a bloke that had a VU ss ute and he was going to get one as soon as part numbers were released good luck and make sure u take pics for us..

[Azza]

Not having had a close look as yet to the new Monaro, do the vents serve a purpose for a induction system that I have seen on cars in the U.S, or is it for cosmetic looks only here?
I too am keen to put this style of bonnet on the ex chaser. :D

[LSX-438]

i dont believe the are functional atm, they probably slow the car down truth be told

[Azza]

So would you think they would be blocked or free flowing , any cool air to the motor is a good thing but, when raining would make a bit of a mess of the bay I'd imagine?

[Yas786]

Thanks for the headstart, I will do a bit more homework.

prob right the monaro one isn't the same az the rest of the VZ range, looks the same as the old ones.

what about the washers ? are they removed from the bonnet like the VY, so need a later wiper panel only?

holdens gunna hate that, they forgot to make a slight change to stop retro fits..

[Yas786]

Any decent Holden spare parts places in Sydney I can get the bonnet from?

Thanks

There is a 'Monaro ute' driving around inside the Holden Elizabeth plant. Been around for a while now. No, it's not a future model, it's the work of some bored pilot room boys! Stuck the front bumper, lights etc. on the front of a VU pilot car. they didn't change the bonnet, so the swap must work the other way round, too. I wonder how long it will be now till we see said monaro utes on the road? :rolleyes:

[malur8260]

I've got a mate whos gettin the vz munro bonnet on his VT. I think he's ordered it already. Apparently the scoops are actually a separate part and fit into the bonnet. He was telling me yesterday that including getting it sprayed will cost around $1600.

They are pressed into the bonnet ie 1 piece.

[Delco]

He said VZ Monaro not VY Commodore.

You are right but there is no such animal a a VZ monaro, same as there isnt a VY monaro ( well there is one but that dont count) , thought he was refering to a VZ bonnet onto a monaro

[Jphdg]

Was thinking just this the other day... would be interesting to see what it looks like on a VX clubie :D

If the bonnet is properly vented, would probably be good to help cool down the intake manifold more.

My old man has ordered the new bonnet. he's gettin it fitted and sprayed next week. by the way the vents dont have any intake into the engine bay they are blokes like the top of the monaro grille series 1 - 3. i will post pics when it's done the week after next.

also the bonnet vents are a seperate part and part number.

Sounds cool, what car is your old man getting it fitted to?
Pics will be good to see when you got em.

A VT S pak, my old car in fact, with a fair few mods it will be featured in street commodores in an upcoming issue. The photographer came down in july so it should be soon. How do you post pics on this forum.

I havn't made many posts so i might not be able to yet???

The list price is $1087 for the bonnet and $115 for each mesh bezel (scoop inserts) (2).

[Black VU SS ute]

is the scoop a working air intake like the gto in america

[ARX57L]

It will fit straight on, the VZ Munro isn't a different shape it is just a facelift, I am looking at a picture of it in the latest MOTOR mag as I am typing and it should fit straight on.

[gen3ss]

The vents in the scoop are cosmetic only the mesh has black plastic behind. If it didn't you woul get heaps of crap in the engine bay, water, bugs, dust.

The VZ monaro front end Bonnet, lights, front bar (guards are same as vt/vx) will fit VT/VX and if you change the guards back to VT/VX you can fit it to VY. :D

[Black VU SS ute]

it's not worthwhile putting it on then if the scoops aren't working like the pontiac gto, it would a nice intake system

[MIC33R]

The vents in the scoop are cosmetic only the mesh has black plastic behind. If it didn't you woul get heaps of crap in the engine bay, water, bugs, dust.

How come WRXs can have functional vents then? Wouldn't it fill up with bugs? Even if the intercooler is flush against the bonnet, they do have small holes in the fins through which water could get in, so it can't be that much of an issue.

Bring on the makita jig saw :)

[hsvchris]

Would Holden By Design sell these bonnets?

[vxtreem]

Would the vz monaro front bar and lights fit a vx bonnet.
Also are the lights the same as previous monaroe ie Series 1 V2 V3

[Wretched]

Yeah, they're blocked from the factory, however the plastic behind can be cut out to become functional. we've been driving one around for a week. Gets a lot of attention out on the street!

[OscarTheGrouch]

See gen3ss's post above:

Edit: If anyone gets a part number or a price for the front bar, I'd be interested to know (so that I can take out a loan to buy it, haha). That looks shit hot.

"The scoops do actually direct air into the engine bay... the only benefit they deliver is to cooling"

[MALATO]

Yes the VX bonnet will work fine with the New front bar.
The New head lights have a slightly slightly sharper point to them so you will not only have to upgrade the front bar, but the headlights aswell.

[vxtreem]

Thanks for that
Part numbers out yet

[MYFX53]

Yes it will fit vt-vx, The bonnet 92167780 is trade $770+gst and the vents R/H 92167878 L/H 92167877 are $81+gst each.

[GM350]

Does anyone know if anyone is going to copy the U.S concept GTO coupe (i.e bonnet)?, that bonnett looks 10 times better.

[john0]

Yes it will fit vt-vx, The bonnet 92167780 is trade $770+gst and the vents R/H 92167878 L/H 92167877 are $81+gst each.


ok please excuse me, let me get this straight....the bonnet and the scoops are 2 separate parts....so can you fit the scoops to an existing VT bonnet or is the monaro bonnet specially designed to accept the scoops? :confused:

Man I need someone in the trade to go buy it for me... that's heaps cheaper...

Hey Ben,
Trents (gen3ss) old man is getting one at that price down here I think.
Ask him about it.
Cheers,
Paul

[Ricko]

He said VZ Monaro not VY Commodore.

Yes, he did, so 2 models after is even less likely to fit than one, which i think is what Delco was getting at, especially considering he has put a VY front on a VX Monaro.

Thanks, I might speak to him. I'm still undecided whether I want the bonnet but I almost definitely want the front bar (and will need headlights as well).

[Black VU SS ute]

I seen the wheels mag write up on the vz monaro and that front bar looks horn, want one now.

[MALATO]

Still waiting for the part number to be released!
Will keep ya posted on numbers & cost as soon as it comes available.

The standard Monaro bonnet is around depending on dealer price $500 with GST, some cheaper, big difference for the scooped bonnet

The bonnet has the scoops in it, it is the Inserts for the Scoops that are additional.

Thanks Seano,

I will admit i think the VZ Bonnet looks great :D

John

I am not sure if i like the bonnet yet.
thou I am keen on the new front bar for the VZ.

P.M your email will send you some pics I have just had sent to me.

Sean

[holden57]

yes mate it fits perfectly.. I have just done it to a vxII wagon. There was no problems at all

[holden57]

I have also put the monaro front bar and headlights in as well. I only had to change a couple of wires. looks awesome. Dickie Knee is going to put a post about it in the next week or so. :)

[alexcs]

id love to see one of these bonnets with the ram air setup on a vy or vz ute.

[MALATO]

SVE here in Adelaide have grafted the VZ monaro vent section onto a standard VZSS ute bonnet & might i say it looks TUFF! :bow:

[OzJavelin]

I had one of those bonnets on my car years ago!!! Oh .. that was an XB GT coupe? :D

FYI: During the early/mid seventies Pontiac fitted non-functional RamAir systems to many TransAms/Formula400s/etc .. the thing was they were only non-functional because they had a block-off plate fitted, which savvy owners could drillout and make functional. Be nice if the Monaro ones would work like that!

[chesso]

Oh my god.. the humanity!!

Sorry saw a couple on V6 sedans lately with the scoops, it just dont look right IMHO.

But on Monaro FULLY SIC MATE!!!

Who said it was a v6?? VY and VU front cuts with LS1's in them are cheap and easy to get.. And also looks good in a wagon especially with a Monaro bonnet on it.
The bonnet serves no purpose to the engine , so it is only cosmetic. I think the Monaro bonnet looks tuff on all late model commodore whether it is a 6 or an 8.

I have posted the photos in the The Wagon Gallery Here (http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/showpost.php?p=458078&postcount=25)

[digit0r*]

Would it fit on a VY SS ute?

And where could I buy a VZ Monaro from that is at a reasonable price? My local holden dealer quoted me $1520.

[Oldmonroman]

The Bonnet with all the Nostrils and under bonnet bits and pieces should not cost more than $1200 or a little under, Painting around $350 to $450 . Fitting to a VY,,,Not sure ask some on the forum for info why VY's are a small problem to fit the VZ monaro bonnet to.
