   Okay so ive got a fibreglass bonnet from CCF, brilliant, no problems, havnt had catches on it since i got it but feel they could be a good investment but how would i fit them?
   
   so heres the underside of my bonnet
   
   
   
   for extra strength, i was thinking mounting through the frame... but then i couldnt bolt them on the underside...
   
   how have others fitted aerocatches to CF bonnets??
   
   thanks in advance

   Craig (saxo180) had one on his black saxo, might be worth giving him a pm.

   2 of my mates fitted them to Carbon Fibre bonnets, they did them to go through the top of th headlight metal bit. Its still uses the normal catch anyway for standard bonnets.
   
   Give me a min il try adn find pics.

   Cant get onto his photobucket now, but thats where he did them then into the tops of the headlight surround bit on the slam panal.
   
   Did that on both cars and didnt have a problem.

   thanks guys
   
   placing the pins should be fine, im more worried about how to tighten the bolts, at the will go through the top and then my be hidden with the frame, how would i go about tightening them?

   I got the bodyshop to fit mine and they said they should have charged me about a days labour because of how long it took them to line up and fit properly.
   
   Mine was a CCF bonnet and locking Aero catches
