    Aerocatch Plus Flush bonnet pins

    Thinking to fit this on my carbon bonnet,driving with fear on motorway when I see that the sides of the bonnet have a vibration.

    I've regularly driven at 120mph plus with my CF bonnet and, so far, I've not had any issues. I think the lip on mine helps keep it down anyway but I don't think the issue is as bad as it looks. All the same I have considered the Aerocatches with the locking facility just for security puropses however I don't trust myself to cut the bonnet properly to fit them.

    Also the pitch of the car will make a difference. Most members when lowering there car, seem to dump the rear down more than the front. This will make the bonnet more susceptible to lifting at speed.
