Badboy Bonnet latch Question

[KSRY]

This is for an Astra but same applies I think, I've bought a badboy bonnet, and everything fits fine, but if you drop the bonnet, theres no way of reaching the latch to release it, luckily I have a vent (chavvy :tard: ) so I can release it through that, any ideas on on how I could resove this? thanks in advance!

extend the catch

send it back & ask for a refund, it is obviously of shoddy quality. if they kick off, ask them to check the sale of goods & services act. this states that any goods or services should be fit for the purpose they are sold for.....

I bought it 2nd hand, stupid question I know, but what are bonnet pins exactly and how do they work? I've seen them in corners etc

the idea is that in motorsport, the marshalls can get it open really fast to put the fire out. you simply fit the bolts to the front panel corners, drill some holes in the bonnet & screw the clips on
