Anyone have these fitted. Either the flush or the plush.

Cheers,

Wayne.

PS a close up pic would be good and an idea of how well they fit.

Thanks Richard, I'll be honest and admit my friend Dan who builds amazing Treehouses for a living cut the holes; I'd have probably ended up with another very big bonnet vent I'll pass on the compliment though

So, do you locate the pins first so as to know where they come through the bonnet?

kinda...i looked at other peoples finished installs and chose the one that was most widely used. then i checked the slam panel from suitable mounting\drilling points and compromised from there. I'm about to remove the pins and add a reinforcing strip of alloy under the slam panel; my bonnet is very light and soon i'm going to have an open topped grill so there will be far more air pressure trying to open the bonnet. its worth thinking about doing so you don't have to remove them and retro fit like i'm having too

best advice is take your time and don't be afraid to belt the pins with a hammer to get them aligned

This is something i really want to fit to mine too. I think i'll be wanting them once the new motor is in.
It gives me the creeps watching the poxy bonnet jumping about as it is when at speed

Thats exactly why I want them. Bloody bonnet looks like its going to come up.

My mates Capri once did this and wrecked the car.

StickyMicky

now then

had mine pop up onto the first latch at 100mph, lucky escape

i always close my bonnet and then try and pull it upwards to double check it as well

saw some aerocatches on ebay for around £30 ish early on, where is cheapest?

Last question.

Do they in any way distort the bonnet when fitted?
