Cheers very much for that mate. It just gives me an idea of where about the pins are mounted on the front panel. I was thinking about putting mine a bit further out than that, Will see how i get on.
Cheers again for that

i wish mine were mate, would have liked mine where they are on this one on the left:
EDIT: having looked at that picture above and the ones i've taken it looks like most people use the holes just above the headlights to put the pin through

. How easy are the catches to fit mate?
mine are the different ones that are round but still lock.. they were a bit of a bitch to get them lined up and i kind of regret fitting them but my slam panel is a bit wonky due to a previous front end shunt and the bonnet release was being a pain.
you will probably need a dremel type of drill.
also. love the yellow

Aero catches were pretty easy to fit on mine. I had the pins a lot further out though..
You can just about see where I mounted them in this pic..

Cheers for all the good words guys,
Will let you know how easy they are to fit once i've done them. Prob couple weeks before i get time to fit them. The back axel an tank are coming out this weekend so i can get the underside and the front and rear arches all cleaned up an undersealed. Get the front inner arches cleaned and put back in so i can get my wings back on. Then i can eventually get the bonnet on an lined up to fit the catches 
Hope to get a few more little bits done the mora night so may stick a few more pics up
