Quick answer: which engine does your car have Brinny?
If a V12, all bonnets will fit, humped or flat, but on your year of car all V12s were made with the flat bonnet.
If an inline 6, you need the humped bonnet.
Both of these answers subject to the bonnets having the correct catch hooks for the catches fitted to the car.


If a facelift V12, then the OEM air intake arrangements require the humped bonnet. (same caveat about the catches).

I am pretty sure any pre-facelift bootlid will fit, facelift ones will not. On your bonnet, any flat or humped pre-facelift bonnet will fit, the catches are all the same on the pre-facelifts.
p.s. Why not add the car model details on your signature?
