Moved to the correct forum.

Should be the same as bolting in a normal bonnet!

yeh but wat im a lil scared of are those washer thingies that spray water.. how do i connect that back up, and isnt it bolted on the bonet? how do i put those in the CF hood?

its illegal not to have them hooked up, coz my cf bonnet didnt really have specified spots for my washer jets.. but who cares.. u dont realli need em anyways

and if the cf bonnet was purchased from a reputable trader.. then yes it should fit pretty well if it 100%!

yeh mine has holes for the jets..

i havnt even tried putting it on yet.. how does it work do they mount straight on?

they should...

**krasyvy** · 22-10-2005 04:12 PM

yeh it should bolt on like a normal bonnet and there should be holes for the spray things

**timmya2** · 22-10-2005 06:03 PM

i just tried taking out the spray things.. do they push out from the bonnet or in?

if u dont know wat i mean.. its liked clipped on.. im wondering if its removed up ways.. or down ways..

bah im confusing myself and im lazy

im sure someone here has done it before

The washer jets should pop down (towards the engine bay). If you can't get it done it might be a good idea to stop while you are ahead

i just got the chrome aftermarket ones
coz they bolt in.. and i got the hoses connected on the bonnet with the clips from original bonnet.

The water squirters push 'Out' from the bonnet, so from the engine bay out.

Depends what bonnet your have. Mine had holes for the squirters already, but I had to file the holes out a little.

Other than that, the new bonnet is as straight forward as bolting the new one in. Before you tighten the bolts make sure the bonnet is aligned to the guards (equal gap both sides). After that you have to align the latch at the front to adjust the hight at the front.

Good luck.
