fitting the power line help please

[gray-efc]

Im trying to fit my subs today but cant find anywhere to feed through the cable to the battery. Have took the bonnet release off and had a good feel around but cant find anywhere. any suggestions anyone?

look behind the water colant tank/ bottle near bulkhead theres one behind there , well behind the sound proofing

use the bonnet release grommet. or drill a new hole and fit another grommet.

look from the engine side , its there follow the bonnet release cable , goes to a hole , then make yer own in the rubber

i cant get to the hole though. do i need to take the wipers off to take the plastic cover off?

remove the coolant and power steering bottles, so you can get your hand behind the insulation. Shouldnt have a problem then.

the bonnet release grommet seems to be the no1 feed on the mk2s

did u take the coolant bottle off aswel cos iv put it through that grommet and fed as much wire through as poss but when i go to the engine side i cant see the wire anywhere?

Wire coat hanger is the answer, straighten it out and feed it through, attach the cable and pull it back through, i found the clio really easy?
