Drivers side equivalent;


The passenger side door bump strip gets caught between the door opening and the offside wing.

Both these problems are the same, thought it was the bumpstrip on the passenger door, but turns out both doors click, like the metal holding it connecting the door to the shell;



“There are a few rust spots/bubbles in the bonnet, apparently it's been resprayed, can I do anything to get these out? Or just get a new bonnet.

Will probably get a new one, not at the top of the list right now though;

It has 2 very small dents in the wings, how's best to get them out?

I was gonna try taking of the kit and pushing them out (very tiny.. probably won’t bother). But don’t bother anyway you’re saying? Lol.

I have heard of a plunger? (lololol), or shall I push that out from the inside ?

That would involve taking of the rear inside door card, another obstacle I couldn't fathom. The main cosmetic problem though is a large dent hereee;

It's big too me lol;

Also, how do the VT kit clips unclip?

Thanks =D.

Engine;



I'm holding up the/a clip that came from the between the radiator and front bumper. I think it holds the bonnet down, cause you're right, i'm not sure if it's down properly. The red handle inside doesn't seem to do anything, maybe that controls this? I dunno. The latch you do with your hand still works though.

Also, that's an aftermarket air filter isn't it, and looks like carbon fiber or faux caborn fiber something.. on there as well =D.

Thanks =].

And also chassis leg looks to be bent backwards if you look at the alignment of the bonnet, imo you have bought a wreck.

Most of the things are small things, It's a project over a few months, just wanna get sort some stuff out.

The dent is next to the drivers door, it's not chassis, it's bodywork I think,

The bonnet doesn't sit right because the clip that holds wasn't on in that picture.

Okay,

I'll take pictures/videos of the stuff I'm on about if that's more helpful =].

Moved to first post.

Ok, you have a handful of problems there,

the handbrake is yes a clip but its probably better to swap the units, probably cheaper also. or it could be the mounts are broken,

for the door clicking, that sounds very very very much like the mounts are coming loose the welds normally break. need welding back on.

can't really do alot about the bonnet tbh but with the alignmet it would suggest that either the chassis legs are bent or the slam panel is bent backwards,

yes that is a massive dent, unfortunatly there is no hope in hell that will pop out, it would have to pushed out and back in again and the use of alot of filler, problem is its not a dent its more of a dent combined with a crease and also having damaged the handle area would be very difficult to fix. and i bet that there is more damage under the VT Kit,

That clip clips into the underside of the slam panel and holds the radiator in place and stops it from moving about onto the hot manifold.

Contact me on MSN it may be easier to help.
