Robbie Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Mick I fitted Aero catches to my bonnet, not hat cheap around £45 a set but no other bonnect catch come anywhere near, they have a double lock and you cant miss if the bonnet isnt locked. To open them you unlock and press the key tab and this pops the upper catch up a bit but the bonnet is still locked To open you flip the upper part right up so easy to see from inside if you forget about them.
