pics of rs turbos with bonnet pins and anyones opinion on them cheers

 

nothing wrong with them, still have the first stage opf the catch to stop pricks steeling the car

 

ive got aero catches fitted to mine, IMO theyre the best looking catches out there, and mine are key lockable too so good against thieving scum, also means ive been able to get rid of the standard bonnet release etc.

i cant add pics at the mo as my rs is in the body shop for a bit of a freshen up etc, ill add some though as soon as i get her back.

In my opinion I’ve never liked them they just spoil the look of a nice bonnet.

 

My FRST with bonnet pins

 

So does a bad boy bonnet

 

a dented roof, smashed windscreen, bent bonnet and some twisted hinges look a lot worse

 

Very true

 

Heres mine/

 

Mine

 

i think id fit em as a matter of prevention. ive heard quite a few stories of rst bonnets flying up at high speed. if i had to fit em then id want some like twins, that looks the tits

 

are those bonded in Twins?

I can see the small screws for the actual pin but can't see anything holding the carbon 'cut out' in?

 

theres a "how to" so to speak in his resto thread

 

Fitted mine when my bonnet catch caught on the IC, but least they got a function. Could be worse....e.g M3 mirrors

 

They serve a purpose, So nothing wrong with them. I had a bonnet come up on me due to a wanky Ford bonnet catch... Its cheaper, and easier to fit a bonnet pin, than a windscreen/bonnet/scuttle panel/dented roof

I did have pictures somewhere!

 

My mates S1

 

Bonded in ,have a look from page 33 on the resto thread

 

he's mine

 

not a massive fan myself, but after having my bonnet pop up 3 times, luckily at low speed, i thought i would fit some...
