Steve the latches on the hood; aren't they closer to the windshield than NeilM's?
You need some closer to the front to prevent a non GF only CF hood from lifting :happy2:

....I was surprised when Steve told me at JKM recently that he'd had probs with them. There aren't that many locations on the Mk5 bodywork under the bonnet which offer a secure fixing point but the further back, the more the potential adverse leverage. I took VWR's advice and compromised where mine were fitted: On a very firm anchorage but not as firm as Steve's further back. However, Steve's car is much faster than mine. Obviously I have retained the oem central bonnet catch/lock as well.
Glad the weather has been good for you, Steve. Brings back memories of when Hurdy and I did it. Fabulous that you've got 2 days :happy2:

Sorry to go on about this again. I'm guessing that one of the other LVS cars is a white Audi A3? Do you know if the LVS guys have headed back home yet or are they still there hooning the A3 about? :smiley:

Still there in the white A3 and T5 Van :happy2:
