bonnet pins??

[big gra]

yes or no, personaly i like the look of them but what does everyone else think??

[craig green]

NO. from a styling point of view.

[dannyb]

They are gash, far too Halfrauds/2 Fast 2 furious/Max Power. Put the money towards something useful for the car.

[General Baxter]

that cable and handle is rather heavy lol

[Jack]

If you have a fibreglass/CF bonnet, then yes definately to ensure it stays shut.

If not, or you're thinking of getting chavvy stick on ones then no.

[simonr1]

i like them only on rally cars though!

[Ryan5cyl]

Ive got them on mine and they've rusted (as you know), I like the "rally look" and hopefully soon will have a GRP bonnet and tailgate.

[Mike]

You need to use alloy/aluminium/titanium ones thats why theyve rusted ^

IMO if youve not got a comp car/s, then dont bother, waste ot time and effort and possibly a complete bonnet if you measure them up wrong.

As for F/G bonnets, yes there a must tbh, as IIRC every GRP presently on the market has no fitted mechanism for a bonnet catch (at least the Pug ones dont anyway??)

[big gra]

cheers everyone, not gonna bother now, dont want to mess the bonnet up before respray!

[novanutted]

iv ordered alloy1s but for 2 reasons....1:bonnet hasflipped up on me before
2:im going with the rally slag look
no chav max power ****

[Mike]

if your going the "rally look" then get ones for the rear too and do it proper

[big gra]

seen a nova on here somewere with both bumpers, boot and bonnet held on with pins?

[Iain]

You can use pins on the bumpers to remove the (heavy) bumper irons.

[Ash]

meh, I'm having them, well aerocatches. The ones with the covers that are flush to the bodywork, but then i might be having a G/F bonnet.

[45_CB]

Liking the idea of boot and bonnet pins

Decent ones mind on a track/rally car

[Mazz]

As above, if you musthave them, then at least buy decent one like Aerocatch ones.
I've got some for my c/f bonnet, i'm just a nervous about taking a hacksaw it though..!
I've got the 'plus-flush' ones that sit ontop of the panel
