Rolls Royce Ghost BONNET 2020+ LIKE NEW

For the Rolls-Royce Ghost (RR21/RR22) produced from 2020 through 2026, the bonnet (hood) is a massive, single-piece aluminum stamping. Unlike the previous generation, the new Ghost bonnet is designed with a “monolithic” surface that flows seamlessly into the grille, meaning there are no visible shut lines between the Spirit of Ecstasy and the radiator.

1. Core Component Details

In 2026, sourcing a “Like New” bonnet usually means finding a “take-off” (a part removed from a new car for a carbon fiber conversion) or a pristine recycled unit.

2. Technical Features: The “Wake” Design

The 2020+ Ghost bonnet features a specific design element known as the “Wake Channel.”

• The Groove: A subtle recessed line starts from the base of the Spirit of Ecstasy and runs down the center of the bonnet.

• Series II (2025+) Change: On the latest facelifted models, this channel is more pronounced and often paired with an illuminated grille surround that reflects light upward onto the front edge of the bonnet.

3. Installation & Safety Warning

• Weight & Material: The bonnet is constructed from a specialized 6000-series aluminum alloy. While light for its size, it is incredibly prone to “kinking” if handled improperly during installation.

• Pedestrian Safety System: The Ghost features Active Pedestrian Protection (Pop-up Hood). The bonnet hinges contain pyrotechnic actuators (Part No. 65779494453) that fire in a collision to lift the rear of the bonnet. If you are buying a “used” bonnet from a salvaged car, ensure the hinge mounting points are not warped from a previous deployment.

• Paint Matching: Because Rolls-Royce uses a “liquid metal” multi-stage painting process, matching a “New” primed bonnet to an existing car (especially in colors like Tempest Grey or Midnight Sapphire) requires a high-end paint shop capable of mimicking the factory’s mirror-finish clear coat.

4. Sourcing a “Like New” Unit (2026)

• OEM Primed: A brand-new, unpainted unit from the factory typically retails for approx. $8,000.

• Take-off (Painted): These are the best value. In 2026, specialists like DGParts or Alpine Performance often stock bonnets in standard factory colors (English White, Black Diamond) for around

• Carbon Fiber Alternatives: If you are looking for an upgrade, Mansory and DMC offer forged carbon fiber bonnets for the RR21 Ghost, priced between \

5. Shipping Logistics

The RR21 bonnet is roughly $1.8wide and $1.6\text{ meters}$ long. In 2026, shipping this part requires a custom wooden crate to prevent corner damage. Standard freight costs within the US or Europe range from $450 to $900.
