Hi guys,
I need some new external bonnet catches for my minari. Im thinking of the clip kind but id be open to other suggestions.

Im trying to do this on a budget so anything cheap that you have lying around would be appreciated.

Oh, and it doesn't need to be IVA compliant.

Thanks!

standard bonnet pins! not those nasty aero catches!

I would use bonnet pins, but I want to put the catches on the side of the car, like this (in the red):



Otherwise the sides of the GRP bonnet stick out a bit.

ah i see, in that case aero catches will work, and sit flush on the panel. they work in a way that the pin can enter the side of the catch. so pin sticks up from the panel underneath, and goes into the side of the catch.

here's a video of the installation options

But if you have something in mind, and it won't put you in the poor house, you have to have something that looks good to you.
