has anyone here fitted a single skin lightweight bonnet to an e30 using pins? just wondering what is the best way to fit it. 1-pin each corner? a couple of pins at the front and use the original catches that keep the bonnet down at the windscreen end?
also if remove the centre box from my exhaust system (its a custom built stainless system but too quiet for me) will the car need remapping?
thanks

iv just brought a double skin fiberglass bonnet.i did not want a single skin because i think they lift to much in the center.I spoke to a bloke who makes single skin bonnets and he said put a pin in each corner and one in the middle.

Most popular way is to use the original runners at the windscreen end, and as has been said, 3 pins on the front panel, 2 in the corners, and one in the centre above the BMW badge.
