I'm looking to get one for my car but I've always wondered how do you open the bonnet as when the bonnet is extended you'll no longer be able to get to the handle thing on the underside of the bonnet?

Any pics of what you've had done? Thanks

Do as "squib" said on sbs if not and weld an extension to the latch

when you pull the bonnet release inside - the bonnet pops up enough to get to the latch easily - isnt a problem at all in my opinion
