I was wondering if the front of the 206 cc (the hood) is the same as the 206?

I am not sure if 'hood' is the exact word but I mean the front of the car from the bumper to the window

We call it "bonnet" in this country

I don't have a definitive answer, but I can't see any reason they'd be different.

thanks, I had 4 minor spots caused by traffic where the paint came off. And a bird pooped on one of the spots. Was too lazy to take it off and when I took it off yesterday some part of the paint came off too , lol. I think buying a secondhand bonnet for 30 quid would be cheaper than a re-paint, the spot is 2,5 cm2 or 1 inch by 1 inch. Does that mean the whole bonnet needs a re-paint or just the small part?

In the UK we have a bunch of people called "Chips Away" who specialize is reparing small areas of paint damage without spraying the whole panel.

Would have thought that if you bought a new panel it would come unpainted anyway. If you buy a secondhand one, it's unlikely that the paint will be an exact match so it'll need repainting anyway. You can get away with painting stuff like spoilers without matching the paint, but an area the size of the bonnet? I'm not so sure.
