Nah its fine, the latch on this bonnet is just like the original, and it shuts well.

Ive had it at three figure speeds and it solid as a rock.

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!!
