I can supply you some Aerocatch fasteners. these are proper motorsport items with a key locking system.

have u got pics of em mate

Fitted these to mine in the summer as i hated the look of the standard bonnet pins and these being flush fitting look alot neater too..



Basically push the left side down and then the right side flips up slightly then you pull on it to release the pin from the catch.
Good as you have two safety measures that way incase you forget to fasten...

The standard style pins are easy to forget to catch up, with these you have a big black lever sticking up when not latched.
Once latched and fastened there super sleek

I love bonnet Piercings me lol.....

You have to sacrifice certain things, i could not have a bonnet catch as my rad is so big and the turbo sits to close.
The rad is therfore moved forward in the place of the standard bonnet catch.
The bonnet has been trimmed upto the swage line and re-welded.
The intercooler is mounted into the front bumper and it took alot of work to make it look as clean as it does.Or as clean as i hope it does.....

I didnt want to just cut the whole section out as it looses the charechteristics of the front end.

Next up though is to loose the intercooler for a custom made Pro Alloy one which will be full frontal and upto the bonnet, then have the rad bought further forward and the fans on the back of the rad pulling the air through.

The bumper will also see some modification in the form of a kevlar front splitter to try and close the gap from tarmac to lip. Need this for traction and stabilty at greater speeds.

yeah same as me mate iv had to lose my bonnet catch cuz of the t3 and iv cut my front bumper for my front mounted but i refuse to cut the front i hate it when ppl cut the whole front it just loses its look i think
