aerocatch placement

[damianNR]

afternoon all so this is my first post on here, shocking i know penmouth: well i got some aerocatches at a good price from a good friend but i have newer fitted them and would love some advice from you crazy lot :smile:
so i want them to sit flush or best i can to be flush were would you all suggest to place them?
also pictures would be a big help

What type did you get? Did you get plus flush or flush? There are two types.

The flush ones sit flush with the panel. Plus flush sit on top.

If you are fitting the bonnet make sure you have genuine Aerocatches. I can't stress that enough. I've seen FAR too many pics of failed catches with the fake jobbies. It failing is one of the worst things as fair enough your bonnet is damaged but then it flies into your windscreen and roof = instant write off if you're unlucky.

Glad to hear it. Well I have mine here as they line-up with existing bolt holes. They're not incredibly flush but I don't mind them.

love the colour think its the best out there in my eyes, well this and the rb :hearteyes::hearteyes: but yours does look good thats the sort of place i would like mine but from the pic it looks like a little lip at the front not sure if it is.

i was thinking of having mine more towards the middle at the same angle but not sure on how it will line up under the bonnet
small item big job :tongueout::fearful:

You can see pretty much see where you are limited to where the catches will finally sit , due to limited space unless you use brackets off the original two bolts the hold down the slam panel . Note the slam panel will need removing for this to be carried out.

Ph2 has a similar if not identical front panel , although you prob know my bonnet is different.
