    this arrived to day and i quickly boshed it on to see how the fit was.

    It was as expected really a few blemishes here and there and the fit isnt perfect but nothing that cant be rectified.

    I think its gonna look ace when i get it all dressed.

    i was shipping in a test batch to see if they were viable for resale.

    They aint i have 2 to sell on an E34 one and an E36 one.

    SO got round to fitting my new "vorstiener" "GTR" rep carbon fibre bonnet. I decided to go aerocatches as i need bonnet bins to meet comp regs.

    some pics of one side finally fitted with a bonnet pin.

    took me 5 hrs to cut a hole in my new bonnet which was wierd.

    ill get the other side done 2morrow then some arch rolling and tyre changing to make the wheels fit.

    Then off to a private drift day on thursday for a shakedown
