You can get pretty stealthy bonnet pins these days though. You don't want the bonnet to fly up and smash your windscreen out though...

Could do.. Windscreens don't smash as such actually... They crack. But you get what I mean.

they have weight on both wheels, as will the bonnet, if you want to be precise and take moments about each point lol! but the seats are more the front, but not that much.....

exactly there should be less force trying to open my bonnet due to havin no water tray which will help with the pin but they dont have the facility to take it

Is this for the mid mounted car? If it is just bolt the bonnet down from underneath and be done with it.
