Pins or No pins taht is the question...

[ijwhiteman]

Really doing my nut in now.

Got my bonnet today...

My predicament

Don't want to chop my Brand new £500 bonnet about

Don't want my bonnet to flip up at 140mph arround the Ring

Don't like the catch look that much

Don't think the carbon bonnet catch looks that strong

Steve the main man has offered to help me cut catches into my bonnet before Germany legend.

But still don't really want them! Can't find any evidence of carbon bonnets failing....

Aerocatch bonnet pins look ok?

 

[IntermaN]

Have you done a test fit to see how well it holds down?

 

[benzai]

I hate the way they look...but if I was hitting the ring with a carbon bonnet theres no way I would go without them man.

Look at the bonnet catches on this, best of both worlds imo:

My friend had a carbon bonnet on his civic turbo with just the standard bonnet catch.

It never failed him and always stayed locked down even in a race on "a private track" with my other friends RX7.

Speeds reached in excess of 150 mph according to sat nav and Apexi power fc.

Aye aero catches like that are great, IF you fit them straight unlike that one

Don't be a gay blade, man up and let me drill your bonnet before Germany. I've taken the 31st and 1st off work, so there will be plenty time to do this

Aerocathes are alright but got to be straight imo. Thanks for finding that though!
