How do you open it when the front laps over the front of the release clip?
can it still be reached or so you have to remove it?

i only came in here cus i thought it was gonna be a ????? bonnet. i suppose it depends how bad u wonna go. if not too bad shouldnt need to move it, but if u wonna go th same way brett rogan with the v6 went i supose u may have to move it unless u could get ur hand up behind the bonnet. make it , see if u can get your hand up, if not move it.

You have to cut a section out of the grille, but so it is still hidden by the bonnet when it is closed.

You could also use bonnet lifters and a different catch release, for example a mk3 escort one. fo sho.

Easy peasy then. Do you use bonnet pins, 'just in case' though? Wouldn't want the bonnet opening at over 100mph.

i prefer yours as on mine there is a slight gap between the extra part and bonnet, yours looks nice and smooth.
