Good day all, I've got a question, how would I attach a Single skin (aka, no std mounting points) CF bootlid ?

I was thinking Bonnet pins, should be ok... but it's not a std Bootlid.

It's like this one, just this one has original mounting points.

Hehe, it's a local production :) , I wouldnt really use them for road use as the gaps arent perfect, but for a track car I think it's good.

They pretty hard to come by, and if u could ever get the guys 2 reply that make them... u would be a genius.

Oh, thanks guys... I think I'll pick up some of those, much better looking than the usual bonnet pins.

How many u guys think ? I was tempted to use just 2, but I think 4 would be better.

Any suggestions ?

Not that I know of.

Cost me around 120 Pounds (converted from South African Rands)

Where do u guys mount the bonnet pins ? I mean on the body... do you mount them in the rain gutter ? or make a brakcet or something ?
