Bonnet raisers?

[Jamestvaughan]

seem cheep as chips... whats everyones opinion on them? seen a few with them on... ? :drink:

[gaz4399]

mk1 - yes
mk2 - no

imo obviously

[Jay_]

agree with above....never been brave enough to fit them myself as i aint really sure where to put em!!! hahahah! i fail!

[-shuggles-]

just a spacer between the hinge and bonnet is it not?

I would only put them on a car thats going for the 'track/fastroad' look tho.

[jeffchiz]

looks good on the right car which usually means mk1, but even my mk1 wouldnt look good with them though

[timmythechef]

i agree with all statements, mk1 trackslag is suits to a tee :y:

[Jamestvaughan]

ahh fair enough, was looking at some, they look pretty nice on mk1 but never seen one on an mk2 before... i think it would look good on my coz my cars black but thats my opinion... :)

[-shuggles-]

I put them on my mk2 but it looks wank tbh
made the front of the bonnet sit in slightly as if I had a crash:homme:

[Sandy869]

Have to agree, a mark 1 track saxo pulls it off great! Mk 2's not so much

[rich112]

Not a fan alltogether tbh.

[Rossgti]

anyone got pics of how theyd look before and after?
i cant see much of a point tbh

[jaytay]

the point is mate they are supposed to be for a purpose.more coolin for the thrash lol.not really made for looks.

[de51_Hodgey]

i have them on mine, there ok but dont look as good as on a mk1 tbh

i just cba to take them off :\

[donny44]

ive just recieved mine i dont know if i should fit them

[Jay_]

put em on...if you dont like them, take em back off.....

[bmxlube]

i have to agree with this one i put raisers on my grey mk1 vts and they looked SHITE! all i ever got told was 'your bonnets open mate' so unless you want your car to look like you crashed it and have people who dont hav a clue always asking stupid questions i wouldnt bother! lol Sod The Raisers FTW :y:

[samueljonburgess]

ive got them on mine... just gettin bored of "your bonnets open"

i think they make the car a little meaner if anythin :)

lmao well atleast its not just me! used to do my brain in.. i just think that on the saxo bonnet along the sides of the bonnet once raised you cant see under the bonnet it just looks pushed up where as i had them once apon a time on my xr2i and lookd good! its more personal preferance! i took mine back off but i know other people who like them.. if your going to put them on.. i in the end got stickers that goes along the side of the bonnet saying 'Its Supposed To Be Like That' HaHa

[paulsupervts84]

i dont like them

[davidharvey]

I like mine

[redcar-saxo]

would agree on every one else, that they do look good on mk1's, i have them on my mk1 after taking them off a mk2, although my car is goign track look now, i had them on with full interiour the lot and they still suited the car. its one of them mods that either people will hate them or love them

[donnypaul]

seeing this thread got me looking in garage and i found 4 25mm spacers and 4 bolts went out undid bonnet n put them in place and it looks ok i grabbed hold of bonnet to see if it holds well n nearly ripped my fingers off, just a thought wouldnt it be good if i put razor blades under there incase sum1 else trys pulling it off lol

[myk1992]

I'm not a fan, think they make the car look weird!

[scotthep]

i agree with the suits mk 1's especially with morettes and not really a fan off them on mk 2's

[Newtz07]

i had raisers on my old mango westie, it looked ace... but all i got was people at work and family saying, "your bonnets open," or "is your bonnet broken?"

so ended up taking them off in the end.

people just havent got a clue.

or maybe we are the ones that are mislead?

... DEEP!

Same, People have actually stopped me as I'm drivin off in a car park etc to tell me my bonnets open.

Gets reaarrllyyy borin, an I have to explain it every single time I go to the car wash.

One of my mates does it every single time I see him aswell haha just to piss me off

[Newtz07]

yer, i have a mate like that. hes the computer programmer at work, very sarcastic, and he was the same. every day without fail... "do you know your bonnets open?... hahaha, the car looks shit"

gets very irritating

might put them back on just for an excuse to start wailing on people with what ever heavy object is to hand.

[donnypaul]

ive noticed that since ive done it to my car its kept the engine propper cool and the fan hardly comes on now, had to laugh when my mum say what id done cos she said water will go down there, told her water goes down there any way hahahaha no idea
