Default Bonnet pins / Aerocatches
Thinking of going for Bonnet pins for mine, maybe Aerocatches, but not got the tools to be cutting the holes...
Anyone got pics of thier Sapphires with either fitted?
Thanks peeps!

I use a holesaw and a jigsaw to cut the holes.

Think ill prob just go for pins, as probably going to have pins on the front bumper too... Just worried pins will look a bit too 'bulky'? Anyone got any pics?

Sorry the pic isn't zoomed in but they arn't bulky IMO.
You can get differnt colours or paint them i guess to blend them in with the car a little.

Thanks for that, they certainly look better for being fitted inline, rather than across! Was thinking the same as you for the mirrors too! Very nice saff!!
