Has anyone fitted the 'Aerocatch' style flush fit bonnet catches? If so any pics?

Never fitted them to a coupe, but I have fitted them to another car, they are a bit of a ball ache. Too much hassle if they are just for aesthetics.

There are a couple of coupe on the forum with them on, I'm sure sparco had them, one Malaysian coupe (unknown owner) and Johny 20VT (below)

Interesting, i was toying with the idea after snapping my bonnet cable and two bonnet release levers. I like the idea of being able to open the bonnet without using the cable or going through the grill and to be honest i think they look better than i thought they would.

Wouldn't suit the coupe
Not to mention there designed to be mounted to a structural part both on the latch and the mechanism underneath.

But yourself a motorbike clutch cable inner and outer.
That's what I fit,do it once,do it properly.

Won't snap that in a hurry.
