I did all the work on it myself.

Good point abou the radiator ! I dont think i need to move the readiator, this kit isnt going on until about febuary time.

Has anyone else hd to move the radiator, or will a cold air feed do the trick ??

Just an idea, is it possible to wack on a solenoid to open the catch? It probably wouldnt work, but it would be pretty niffty if you could get something that to work :)

Yeah, That lip does get in the way a bit, It makes it a tight squeeze to get your finger in.

My bumper is the panique bumper though and it needs that little lip because thats how its fastened to it. I will just have to mark where the latch is and make a little recess so you can get to it easily.

What like this?



We have no problems getting the bonnet open still. Just fairly tight on the fingers. Also, if your that worried, do as i've got, weld a small extension onto the origial bonnet release bar so it hangs lower.
