i have no sympathy, thats the one I wanted!!!! :p
If i\'d known i would have been tweaking it for 8hrs to try and get even gaps all round and so it would still go over the bonnet clips, i would have brought it for you! :)

What sort of problems did you encounter?
MattR: Yeah came this morning all ok , ive left it in the box as its wrapped well , when i get the car back i shall have a look at fitting it.
The main problem i had was that the bonnet differed from the original that the original had studs that fitted to a bracket. The carbon bonnet had threads that recieved a stud, through the bracket (hope it makes sense to somenone as i\'m lost) unfortuntely one of the threads was cream crackered!!
Managed to get another bolt that "fitted" and then all i had to do was get the spaces even on either side of the bonnet whilst the pins still matched....
8 hours later.....
"close enough, that\'ll do"...
Easy really!! :)
looks really nice though, worth the 8 hours labour :)
