    I am fitting some aero flush fit bonnet catches. has anyone else fitted bonnet catches? where have you gone for the pin in the slam panel? there are some holes already there, at the outside edge or where the height adjusters go? the only thing with the height adjuster holes are that the bonnet fitting overlap the line in the bonnet? I need ideas and pics if poss? many thanks

    rosserooni can you pm me prices of sunroof (Polycarb) and the Polycarb windows?
  23. Tris
    this is being a pain, gearing it so it wont run 27psi at 6k rpm. may sell it and put money towards something else? turbo kit, blower for the VR or different engine
