I will beat them over the head if I see them doing it.


Yep, the elderly, parents, mates, co workers, nosey cunts. They all think your bonnet is off the release mechanism. But as long as it keeps the tepm needle lower than before (which it does on mine) i dont care.

Word. :)
 
Seen a few cars going round with this mod done and yes it does just look like the bonnet has popped up.

If you need to do this then surely you have insufficient airflow and cooling for the engine application? So better to aid airflow through the grill/bumper if the rad is getting too hot, or relocate the air intake/add cold feed pipes/indicator intake hole thing to get cooler air intake?

IMO having the bonnet like that ruins the smooth lines of the car. I can fully appreciate it on a track car where the engine is run harder and hotter with conditions being hotter etc but on a road car?

Gonna be the next rude boy mod:

"make/model car, 20" alloys, tints, bodykit, car slammed 60mm, bonnet raised 60mm, bo"

Just an observation.
 
Body kit - check
Raised bonnet - check
Tints - check

:lol:

It looks smart, works well with the Autech kit pretty well.

I like it so there, and that's coming from you?!

BK 17"s, induction kit, tints, 4-2-1 header, quickshift, Apex'i SAFC-II, lock and wiper smoothed off bootlid, lowered 40mm on drop springs, Powerflow SS backbox. :lol:

Lol touché, but you missed the irony. I haven't done any of those mods to my car, all a previous owner, one of the reasons I want to sell it to go back to my standard 205, standard is the way forward...

im with vero on this, i wont be doing it as its no good to my road car, plus it seems like another follow my leader thing. as said before, this can let water in which cant be good realy. (not my comment)
 
i saw this on a 180sx set up for drifting at an import garage, you could see into the engine bay enough to know there was something in there worth pinching if you had a crow bar.
 
So has anyone who has raised the bonnet actually noticed water leaking into the footwells etc or is it just the ppl who ripped out the rubber weather seal?? As i do think it looks pretty sweet but I won't commit to it especially since it might damage my baby!!!

Not a drop, and i clean it at least twice a week (and its pissing down here at the mo) not wet engine for me.
 
the only way rain could "possibly" get in is if you removed the seal, which is silly anyway lol my bonnets been raised a few month's as i have an open air filter, no water, but i wouldn't ever take the seal away
