Might paint inside and bay myself, not sure about the exterior.

nice work Ian, :)

Good work on the shell, you lined the catches up well after all then..lol

20 measurements each side and a couple of drawing attempts but should only be a couple of mm difference now. :cool:

Looks good dude, yeah might have edited it! lol

Good work!

coo, youve bought the bonnet ive had my eye on getting one soon too.. my ol' bonnet has a dent in it and the strengthened fibre-glass version (the one that goes onto o.e hinges) is just one ive fancied for a while..
do you have to use rally-esque pins/catches for it, cannot use o.e catch??

All the holes on the underneath are filled in (latch, rubber stops etc). I guess you could mod it to fit a latch but I don't think it was made with that in mind.

Aerocatches look quite cool anyway! Better than the classic pin design & lockable so safe.

Rubbish update, it's taking me ages to choose/buy/paint it so doing odd jobs instead.

Was cleaning the underside of my slam panel and noticed more weight saving that could be done! 262 grams of pure unrequired metal!

Looks weird from the top without the spring bit!

Also drilled the rear bumper holes, guessed the measurements and they were bang on, winner!

That's some crazy weight saving.
