but...... they are bloody pointless and look stupid on a normal road car, on a "rally car" you can get away with it as there is a real point to having them.

wen i shut my bonnet it craks the fibre glass vent. i thourght this will stop it. as i wont have to push it shut. iv already re done the bonnet twice.

You still have to have the bonnet shut. Is your vent fouling on something or is it the bonnet flexing thats causing it?

Steel vent/NACA duct? What's it bonded on with? What's it for? Try foaming the bonner spider?
Pics?

My bonnet doesn't have a safety catch as it has a metal extension that reaches down to bottom of the lights so was thinking about pins. I came up with aerocatches which come in flush or top mounted variants. Should be less conspicuous & still do the whole bonnet catch thing.

whatever excuse you come up with they still look stupid on a road car, it just looks like a rally wanabe, if you rally or test it fair enough

if you modify your bonnet for a smother look then make sure you secure it smoothly without the need to drill bloody holes in it.

it is just so 70's

Surely you mean 60s

The whole point it to make it look like it isn't there

Firstly I didn't mod the bonnet. Secondly it doesn't smooth the bonnet it just make the car look like it was designed properly (to me that black piece of plastic between the top of the bumper and the bonnet has always looked like fiat put it there because they didn't know what to do). Thirdly, the Sei catch could be used but ime it's absolutely useless if the latch fails so I don't consider it a viable option.
