Well I've had better evenings. Was trying make tweaks to my linkage, forgot to put the bonnet catches in properly and this is the result:

Damaged Roof
Smashed Windscreen
Smashed Bonnet
Knacked Bonnet Pins

Had more problems with gear selections - turns out I had a worn clutch cable mount on my clutch pedal.

Old vs New !!!


Quite a difference. All fixed now

Bonnet looks good, although looks in need of a good clean and polish! lol

Clutch cable mounting is something i have never seen before, I wonder how badly worn mine is :S

Crack on!

Windscreen all replaced:


Then on with starting to fit my carbon bonnet. It was a mess on top, so over to db valeting for a buff and polish.

Then on with fitting my rear mounts, as the ones in the bonnet had been torn out





All done, just need to fit my aerocatches tomorrow

Finished off fitting my bargain carbon bonnet fitting





Really like the look of the car without the vent and holes in the front; and after being stuck in traffic for an hour yesterday it didn't over-heat, so clearly the holes weren't really needed anyway.
