Default keeping my ally bonnet safe

hi everyone just need abit of advice, i have a classic wrx with the ally bonnet, when im doing 65mph+ (on motorway obviously ) i can see the bonnet bouncing and dont realy fancy it popping up, now i have seen the bonnet pins but just wondered if there was any other way to secure it as i dont like the look of the pins (i mean if i have to then i will get the pins its better than bonnet flying off lol) thanks in advance

Don't worry, it's more flexable than steel. Just as long as it's clamped and adjusted correctly it'll be okay. Mine's been well over the 130mph mark wihout issue!
