   yeah mate i use to use them on my carbon bonnet for my ek9. just need a hole saw for ya drill and a file and a rivet gun. there loads better than pins and are mot friendly unlike bonnet pins that will get you a fail on the mot from jan.

   not the greatest photo but its the only one on the net the now i think
   
   Edit: slightly better pic
   
   
   Asmentioned above the locking ones are much better than bonnet pins as anybody can open the pins at any time. The car came with pins on when i got it but soon changed them for flush aerocatches. Only problem with flush aerocatches on the saxo is that there isnt a lot of room under the bonnet to fit them from underneath. Plus the fact if your bonnet (hopefully it does anyway) has fibreglass strengthening spines underneath which are a bitch to cut through.
   
   Watch your fingers as the fibreglass shards get everywhere would recommend a hose down when your finished

   So this should be fairly the same on a mk2 then, is it on the slam panel looks very close to it
