vagingit.co.uk 0 Posted April 3, 2009 how easy is it to change the bonnet on the C? Is it a pain to get it re-alinged so that it sits properly, or does it all go back together fairly easy? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StuartFZR400 0 Posted April 3, 2009 the bonnet you've bought/acquired, is it to be re-sprayed? All body shops should know how to fit it perfectly, should you find that you can't quite get it perfectly aligned. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted April 3, 2009 I found it pretty easy... take your time with the connections for the heated washers and the water pipe when you're taking it apart as they tend to go brittle... Make sure that you've got at least 2 people to help... 2 of you will be needed to hold the bonnet in place while the third will just be needed to put the bolts in.... you can do it with just two of you, but it's not as easy.... Just take your time, and don't just drop the bonnet expecting it to have lined up perfectly first time! There's quite a bit of adjustment you can get out of the hinge mounts onto the bonnet... Oh, and remove the grill before you even consider doing this, so if you don't quite get the lineup correct and find that it's closed but the catch is too far forwards to be released by the cable, then you can get your hand in and release it manually... ;) :oops: :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
