i phoned fiat to try and get myself one but they wernt very helpfull and i've pulled a blank, looks like ebay might be the only way.
Hi!
There are currently two versions of these air intakes.
The newer ones costs roughly about 63 pounds (two air intakes and two backpannels already primed and ready for paint).
The price may go even lower, because this is the pre-discount value (it should go lower at about 10%).
HOWEVER, I am not certain they would properly fit on a 'regular' 20v, since the turbo engined Marea has a slightly different arrangement of parts (under the hood wise ). Not only this, but the backpanel is mounted via a set of 8 (if I recall correctly) screws, so there will be, at least, light modding of the hood required (not to mention the cutting part).
Here is a screen of the correspondent Fiat Parts Catalog's page.
Cheers.

So it doesn't come as a complete bonnet?
Just mines has been dented so am needing a new one.
Hoped I'd be able to source a complete turbo bonnet, looks like I can't!

Well, I suppose you can buy one at e-bay or it's Brazilian equivalent (www.mercadolivre.com.br). These, of course will have been taken from already assembled cars, so you won't really be buying a brand new bonnet...
Also, because of the air-intakes and the way they are fitted (screws and all), the Marea Turbo's bonnet has a completely different parts' number, since it has to have the mounting holds for the screws and the holes for the air intakes.
Your best and cheapest bet is still to buy just the air intake and it's backpannel and have some car shop fit them into your bonnet. It'll be WAY cheaper.

Be interesting shipping a bonnet over from Brazil.
Couriers couldn't get a bonet from the local warehouse to Polecat without bending it.. Can't see it getting from Brazil to the UK in the same shape it started.
why go to all that trouble when cool louvres can do it in the UK for you
Hehe, rather more bent now ;P
