Ofey I just spoke to my cousin and he said the guards will need to be painted too. They need to be lightly sanded and blended in at the top only and then clear coat the whole guard. Sorry!
My cousin was very concerned about the bonnets getting damaged during delivery. He said they need to be packed very well, upright and handled carefully. If they are damaged in any way then they are usually a throw away.
I will try to be at his workshop when the parts are delivered so I can inspect all the parts for damage.
Ofey my cousin suggested you inspect all parts once you have them and take pictures of them and give them to us so we can inspect for any damage during transport to us.
@RyanMK, my cousin is happy to store your bonnet until you return from Overseas.
@tnode, Trevor my cousin is happy to store your parts as well until you are happy for your car to be fixed. I explained you will be fitting your bumpers part of your accident claim. He said dont mention it to your insurance company as it is easier to just claim the repairs and then fix as you require. He said it is easier if you are claiming against the other drivers insurance but from memory you are claiming against your own.
Cousin's details:

It's confirmed that I'll shipping my bonnet with the rest of the SA's shipment then. I will PM you the details of how long I'll be overseas.
