Just before I put name down I'd be interested if someone could put a picture up of the fitted bonnet and bootlid and how are people going about washer jets? Mine would be fitted to a rally car so quite important ;)

They do look good when fitted. Little concerned about how safe the bonnet pod would be? I would need to have dzuz fasteners to fold it down. If the bonnet is strong enough don't really see an issue though. Do we still need the ten people for the new offer? Sorry for all the questions

Well I'd have a set with internals for sure, not like the weight would increase much and so much easier to mount using original fixing holes.

I would prefer internals to be honest. Depending on price. Still unsure if to get one now or in few months when better off financially as just put entry in for welsh rally Tarmac championship in car and that's going to eat up lots of my funds.

How much does the replacement bonnet weigh? There's no mention of it in the thread so far.

Would it be possible to get a price on just the internals for the bonnet and boot? I bought a bonnet and boot on a group buy a while ago and have never fitted them because I didn't really want them just on pins. If I could get the internals, I could bond them on myself and job done!

Thanks, Martin.
