    Hi Dom,

    Sorry for late reply.

    It has been reserved by another member I'm afraid.

    If I see any thing out there I'll give you a PM.

    regards

    Yeah you'll have put up some pics of it and also maybe do a quick write up of where and how you have the bonnet pins fitted with photos, and if you decide to stiffen the bonnet where you put the bracing, just an idea.

    Also with the grill for the vents.....

    if you decide to reglue the clips holding them to the underside of the bonnet and get rid of the old clips. I used a couple of weeks ago some much sturdier clips for my front bumper mesh from ToolStation..... the square base is also thin enough to form into bends and be cut with a sturdy pair of scissors to get them into any position you want.

    Part numbers are....


    97114 - Self Adhesive Clips 8mm 100 Pack £9.09

    26921 - Self Adhesive Clips 4mm 100 Pack £7.05

    52425 - Self Adhesive Clips 12mm 100 Pack £12.21

    46124 - Self Adhesive Clips 16mm 100 Pack £13.26


    the sizes are for the diameter of cable they are designed to secure.

    Ask your bodywork guy what glue to use that would standup to the heat from the engine. The adhesive on the back isn't for this application. I buried mine in 3M plastic adhesive with plasters mesh embedded into the glue for extra strength. Or perhaps a hot melt gun would do?

    Take care!
