Hi guys,
Ive had a search and cannot seem to find the answer, so does anyone know how much a 206 bonnet weighs?
Ive just won one on ebay, however its just shy of the Scottish border, so i am going to use a courier to bring it down, but have no idea on the weight!?
Im thinking maybe around 5-6kg?
Can anyone shed any slight more accurate figures on this?
Jon

I'd estimate it to be double your estimate, if not more.
PM Harry/Lee or other people breaking 206's. They will have likely sent one.

If you put the dimensions into parcel monkey it's around £17
Then if you lie a little and knock 15cm off the length it goes down to £6.50
