RobSheffield Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Nice, hope your catches hold Does the bonnet have the stock catch loops too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 They did mine a few months ago and yes they keep the original Toyota catch so you keep the bonnet release as normal, they are great catches that are very stable, they are a bit of a pain to fit though I was told Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flukey-lukey Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Same catches as I've just bought. May I ask how much these cost to fit as I've had a quote from a local bodyshop and think its a little steep (PM if you wish). I contemplated fitting them myself, but can't find the time at the moment....and I'd probably mess it up anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraAyf Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 there going to have fun with my recessed ones then (the other kind but the same as those) Personally mate, if its the flushed type that fit from under the bonnet then I wouldn't bother. The ones in Mike's pics give you a slight margin for cutting error whereas your version requires 100% cutting accuracy in order to look good.
