Default calling all u buftys - Under bonnet bling

Got some polished bonnet plates for the underneath of the bonnet.

What do you use to stick it to the underside of the bonnet as i have no idea. What have you buftys used in the past?

Cheers

Ran

Tigerseal is good stuff to bond it to your bonnet... beware in traffic it likes to bake your engine, as it reflects heat back into your engine

Cool - gonna have to go down the shop and get some.

Not too keen on keeping the heat in tho but i guess that what bonnet vents are for

Got the plates to go under the vents but dont think i will use em so they will be up for grabs soon.
