HELP - BodyShop to fit Aerocatch bonnet pins

[bowboy]

Can anyone recommend a good bodyshop in the swansea/bridgend area to fit two aerocatch bonnet pins onto a carbon fibre bonnet

Cheers

You will need a motorsport outfit to do that for you because many bodyshops won't have the experience
to drill holes in a carbon fibre bonnet.
If not done prpoerly you could have a cracked bonnet.

Sorry to disagree on this one..........many of us have gained a great deal of experience on CF given modern construction techniques
10 years ago we were all panicking about kevlar reinforced bumpers!
I'm sure this is the case for most competent bodyshops.
As long as the people you normally use are decent, competent & used to working on decent stuff then they should have no problems doing it

I would agree. if you wanted to give it a go your self .. get a nice new sharp drill bit, and a nice fast high speed drill, to get a good cut. with no pressure on the drill let the drill bit do the work! i have done some things with a carbon fiber scoop on my mr2 that would make some cringe. Maybe have a quick Google on how to drill a hole. And what a pilot hole size should be. the pilot drill bit should be equal size of the small flat area at the end of the larger drill bit called the chisel point.
