be a bit tricky opening the bonnet then lol

[letmelive]

Oh yeah, hmmm, must be some wat to open it, im sure mark will think of a way, anyone ever seen one done before?

wouldnt be that hard because theres always a gap between the grill and bumper

[letmelive]

maybe a thick piece of wire round the latch or something similer :), but will it look ok you think?

Just make sure you've got a decent sized vent in the front bumper. The F50 vent will pull air out the engine bay, so for best efficiency you want it to be replaced with air sucked in through the front.

with the problem of getting into the bonnet i would do what i did with mine.
i simply took the lift up catch off the inside of the bonnet and got bonnet pins to hold it down as a second catch.

depends if you like the pins or not.

Nah don't like bonnet pins, and yeah my nova dose kit is being customized with bigger holes so should be enough.

I'm doing something similar (front wise) - but need to coz I'm fitting Punto lights to mine (eventually!). However mine wont come down so far - probably 1/2 way and will be met by a grill molded into a new custom bumper.
