Some Aero fun.

Aerocatch for a bonnet release?

[vwthunder]

Hmm dont know, they go with the race theme

Maybe they will just become a secondary release, if you use this as the only release, anyone can open the bonnet from outside of the car

Your Polo is so clean, I love it. What is a set of BBS rims (like yours) worth?

Too much lol.

I paid close to 2k for them and then to pull them apart sandblast, powdercoat, new bolts, and then 2X lips and 2X barrels to make the rears 3 piece

I might be selling them soon and moving onto another set of wheels

Mmmmmmm. Do you think the black centres would suit a white GTI?

Yeah of course, black goes on just about anything, it probably hardest to pull off black on black

[STI65]

If I had the $ I would love them! What wheels are you looking at getting next?

[vwthunder]

I have some simmons fr17's that need rebuilding and new lips all round

[STI65]

You have great taste in wheels. They are some of my favs as well.

[vwthunder]

Whats this

Cutting holes in your bonnet !!!!

[vwthunder]

Oh here is what i used




Cut the rest out with a jigsaw

[vwthunder]

End result

Im still not happy about the pins it locks into. Has to be lined up to the mm or it wont close. The front plastic part above the grill that you mount the pins into in on a angle, the pins need to be perfectly straight

Will try to get some pics soon

[seangti]

bet you had some sweaty palms taking the drill to the bonnet.

How come you didn't go with the lockable ones? Looks good though!

Thought about it, but i thought they might get rusty or be a pain in the bum
