As keith said. If you're planning on running the std catch and cable you will need more strength on the slam panel. If you're running bonnet pins its not so important.

thanks guys, the main reason i cut the front panel out was due to my engine crane being total poop and didnt want to chance the engine falling from such a height.
bonnet wise i did want to get a carbon fibre one which i would have the flush fit aero catches. Saying that i do like this bonnet as i cut the 3 holes in to it for something different. problem is i wont be able to fit the aero catches to this one as it will look mucho stupid with the holes. theres always a fibreglass bonnet...
more strength would be needed to keep the original catch as i wouldnt like the bonnet flying up at top end speeds. Going to go sit in the corner and have a think.:thumb:
Is it a must to cut the slam panel? I'd prefer to keep mine.

Good work again mate, looks like your getting well into it, don't forget to order a nice alloy single V bottom pulley either ;)
ive already trimmed the panel to get the turbo to AFM pipe in so no need to re-angle the turbo.:thumb:Quote:

AIR GUN!
They should not be that tight, might be thread locked on, need some heat to free??

You dont need to cut the slam panel, i didnt mine.
