stupid question

[Jens]

Hi Theron!

There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers. I am sure this
saying is known all over the world.
So I hope this is no stupid answer:

> Any chance that a V8 hood fits a 200?
Yes. And it looks awkward. The V8 grill is angled in such a way, that
the 200 headlights don't align. So there is something missing, the edge
of the headlights is not completely covered. The lower part of the
headlights goes not far enough in the direction of the V8 grill.
Could not even describe it well in German either, so take a look at

makes a V8 style hood/bonnet for the Type44. 
It is not on their webpage (which is best viewed in InternetExplorer)
but can be seen among other stuff of them under

You can of course swap the entire V8 front end to the 200, if you are
nuts enough ;)
Already has been done.
