Hi.

I remember seeing a thread where someone had relocated the bonnet release so they could make bigger speakers fit in the footwell pods

Ive done a search but cant find it anywhere......anyone have it bookmarked or point me in the right direction

The previous owner did a simular thing to my old e30. He used some spacers like 10-15mm thick washers to move the bonnet release outwards. This helped to fit 6.5" speakers in the standard locations (with the help of a spacer for the speaker).
