Asmentioned above the locking ones are much better than bonnet pins as anybody can open the pins at any time. The car came with pins on when i got it but soon changed them for flush aerocatches. Only problem with flush aerocatches on the saxo is that there isnt a lot of room under the bonnet to fit them from underneath. Plus the fact if your bonnet (hopefully it does anyway) has fibreglass strengthening spines underneath which are a bitch to cut through.

Watch your fingers as the fibreglass shards get everywhere :n: would recommend a hose down when your finished :)

So this should be fairly the same on a mk2 then, is it on the slam panel looks very close to it
