I think most will install where the bump stops are. There\'s two behind the lights and two at the side of the lights.

Mine are just to the side of the lights, but in process of changing to an areocatch with the locks on them and have done away with the latch all together.

Just on the subject of bonnet pins...how hard is it to drill the carbon fibre of the bonnet in the first place?

I take it you just tape over the top and start with a nice small pilot hole?

Realy easy, but a word of Warning use a Sharp drill and don\'t push on (or it will Delamanate if you are not carfull)
