I recently bought a carbon fibre bonnet not realising the dangers of the latches becoming weak and the dangers of the bonnet flying open causing great damage.
I researched the options of visible pins or Aerocatch but as with most owners hated the idea of drilling and cutting the Carbon bonnet. I eventually found these PINTKING or QUICK-LATCH MINI pins available on ebay that are based on a larger american design. It still required a small amount of drilling but an amount I was comfortable with and left a subtle but safe finish.
Unfortunately they are overpriced at £22-£29 Each! So I did a trial on one and as it worked great will be purchasing another as soon as I've re-mortgaged. I hope this alternative is of some use to someone.
