my mini has a mk3 type bonnet with the lip, if i bought a mk1 type bonnet without the lip, what difference would it make other than not having that bit of trim above my grill ?

the brackets to fit to the body are differnt

mark 3 are outside of the bonnet

mark 1 are inside

Mark 3 bonnet for a Van has no lip but has brackets for normal mark 3 :P

you can take the spotwelds off of the lip on a mk 3 bonnet to get the mk 1 look.
