People have to touch n take!

Woke up this morning an found my bonnet clips removed from my car, why \'o why would someone want these?  :reallymad

Seen a lot of people look at the car but didnt think they would go an do this, the bright side is there is no damage just missing parts, maybe because I dont tend to clean my car that often so it looks a little grubby and no need for damage.

Any ideas where these can be replaced from?  Demon Tweeks?

Annoying buggers.  I\'ve just replaced my clips with lockable, er, locks.  Looks better imo to the sticky-uppy clips as thay\'re flush to the bonnet.  Was a bit fiddly and I needed to cut away a bit of the bonnet too.

Got them from

Iain do you have any photos of them fitted, i have bort a set which are presumably the same GE66 ones which originate from Graystone engineering or sumin like that i did a search on google & found the speedshack as per this spreadsheet did them & dare i say cheaper than the price you mention (or at least price on that link)...
Anyway i cant decide whether to put them between or behind headlight bit of bonnet :confused: so any photos or tips or ideas would be good? Also if you have fitted them was it easy enough? (not that i\'ll be doing it anyway lol)
Cheers

Si - Mine are fitted next to the lights.  It was a bit tricky as the bonnet angle is quite steep there so the lock mechanism comes together with the pin at an angle.

A bit of fiddling and a gentle filing of the pin and it goes in a treat.  The 1st one took about 2 hours to fit, the second (once I knew what I was doing) about 30 mins all told.

I\'m well chuffed with it.  Won\'t be able to take a photo until Thursday evening though but will post one then if I remember.

Muzzy,

Sorry to hear that mate, unfortunatley people have no respect for other peoples property nowadays, when i was a lad (i know i know) we would not have dreamed of damaging a nice car, we just admired them.

Have you got the 30amp fuse yet? How is she running?

Cheers

Thanks for the info, ended up going for demon tweeks, £10 a pair, so bought 2, just in case!

Not got my fuse yet, phoned Ross for one an he is sending it up soon, but she is running good and in these dry days right now raring to go m8!

Get the clutch sorted?

[Donato]

When you get the fuse give me a shout and we can go for a wee blast!

Yeah my clutch is done but its a stock clutch thats on it now, it doesnt feel as fast now I think its because of the lack of clamping power and a heavier flywheel. A lot easier for traffic driving though!

Think i will change back as soon as i can afford the plates which should be a couple of months from now.

[muzzyd]

Bet its much easier when tryin to take off in traffic jams between the lights!  Maybe its only plus point, will give you a shout next week, away for the weekend and hope to fit the fuse this week b4 I go.

[Donato]

That is its only plus point!

Cool mate, im playing football mon/tue and wed then im off to amsterdam next thur so probably better the week after?

Cheers

Okay - flash does odd things to paint work but you\'ll get the idea...

[iaint]

another view.  Filler needed for screw holes from old pins.  Should be pretty invisible once finished.

[scooby_si]
