Someone on here has a set of those on a Carbon bonnet. Can't mind who though but it looks really tidy!

I think it's fred or yoz who has them, they do look ace yeah mate.

 

[Fred@BTM]

just don't fit them in the grooves at the edges of the bonnet everyone seems to fit them there, they don't fit properly in that location

this is a proper job

heard nasty stories about bonnets on rs's coming up and hitting the windscreen. i also think they look sexual i went for the non flush ones i prefer them each to their own tho boys

^ oh dear man, if the bonnet flying open worries you that much take it renault for a them to fit the revised bonnet catch on it.

The pins will look tacky on a normal road car imo.

That can happen with pins too though, especially if your c**t of an ex girlfriends removes them before you drive it!

Get locking ones if you do get them, aerocatch ones Fred's pictured are spot on.

What are bonnet pins for?

What are bonnet pins for?

From the slam panel up through the bonnet with a slidey pin that goes through the top to stop the bonnet lifting!!

but you probably knew that!!

 

[jesus]

I didn't actually! So they replace the catch so you don't have to piss around in the car trying to find the lever?

the flush ones look good .

Ahh I see! Damn French reliability...

 

[blind-in-texas]

I got my car through its mot with non-flush bonnet pins no bother so I'm not sure if they are an mot fail. Although I live in hillbilly land and probably don't care haha
