Shame, this happens too often really.I am thinking of getting pins, then I can raise the rear of the bonnet then too, plus feel assured that this wont happen to me. I reckon your large intercooler didnt help resting on the catch?

WHAT CATCH ????? THAT WAS THE PROBLEM I REMOVED THE SAFTY CATCH
CAUSE I COULDNT GET THE BONNET TO CLOSE WITH IT ON SO I ONLY HAD 1 BONNET CATCH AND UP IT CAME SO GOT PINS NOW. WOULD RECOMEND EVERY 1 GETS PINS AS IVE SPOKEN TO AT LEAST 10 PPL THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED WITHOUT A GRS

This seems to be quite common now...

Bonnet pin's for me then Like you said,they look shit but look a whole lot better than a bonnet slammed into your windscreen!

Where did you get your pin's?
