drift_bear Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) After speaking with john and roger i decided to eventually pull my finger out and do my aerocatches, i followed johns guide in his build thread and done all the work myself (and the help of my mate), i think it adds a new look to the car now. See what you guys think. Sorry for the rubbish quailty but pics were taken from my phone since my camera aint charged yet Before After P.s before anyone asks, the car is staying untill further notice, have managed to source some work, so no need to sell up Edited November 28, 2011 by drift_bear (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Good work Alex. Always rewarding when you do the work yourself. To be honest I prefer the look without the aerocatches, but I understand the peace of mind you get from the bonnet being secured and it still looks really good. A nice style bonnet that, (I would be interested in it if you are selling it next year, if you start looking for a buyer in the future). Really glad you are able to keep the car buddy.
