Well, become a bit of a bonnet whore, picked up a nice carbon one all cleaned and ready to go on when i get back from Daytona!!
I cant beleive the weight difference!
One question though, anyone got any ideas what to do with the washer jets???

With my cleaned normal bonnet, ive got 2 small jets on the scuttleboard (plastic pieces just in front of the windscreen)
Since my CF bonnet came with the holes in them, ive got Xsara ones on that

CF one weighs around 4 kilo, stock one around 18-20 kilo

ive put 405 wipers on mine because of the lift off bonnet. much better than jets tbf, gets alot more water on the screen at high speeds. scrapyard ftw, remember to get the scuttle off a 405 as well as it has the useful nipple things for a nice tidy install

They were some new sparcos we had left over, and...... I wasn't brave enough! My logic was if I f*cked them up I could then use aero catches to cover up the f*ck up lol! If I can pick some up at some point I would fit them

Jamie really you should get a pair, would look so much better.
Fitting them is easy, especially if you have a dremel.....
Do it!

Looks good but needs aero catches.
Pretty hard to f*ck up, as they come with a template, just drop it on the bonnet mark it up, make sure it's aligned with the slam panel, cut the drill the holes for the pins.
Get on it, will look even better with black ones.

Personally I'm not a massive fan of dark wheels though, you can't beat them when they're all nice and clean, sets it all off, as for aero catches I'll get on it!! Lol
Got passed a group n engine chock today! Any advice on best way or how to fit?

Also, got my set of track wheels this week!
Currently shod with a matched set of yokies, however I'd be intrested in a set of 888's if anyone knows of any. For days that allow it, slicks are all set and ready!

Got them in there, massive difference as there's now no movement and they're lovely and snug, really does make the car smoother!
When I got to the main mount out i was a little bit worried as it looked like it had been off before, however it was nice firm, anyways I took it out expecting to maybe unveil the inevitable only to find someone had made a nice repair in there already! #mademysaturday!!!
