badge badge lost nuts

[sir twig]

So i removed the bonnet badge so i could vinyl wrap the bonnet on my cayman this weekend. Unfortunately i've managed to loose the two badge nuts inside the bonnet. Anyone have any idea on how to find them/get them out?

Remove bonnet and shake gently. Or leave them where they are and listen to 'em rattling around every time you lift/drop the bonnet from now on. Don't ask me how I know this... ;-)

How do you lose the nuts?

[Country Boy]

It would be easy to lose the nuts inside the bonnet although I have to say that luckily I haven't done it - undo the nuts through the opening in the bonnet, no?t careful enough to hold the nuts in a spanner as the badge is loosened, nuts fall off spanner into the inside of the bonnet. I'm afraid I've no idea how you would get them out though! A magnet on a piece of string

Vaccuum cleaner (with gauze over the end of the nozzle)?

Bonnet lid is aluminium so this could work.

...or a magnetic-end screwdriver?
...or an actual magnet covered in a microfibre cloth on top of the bonnet to snare then drag the nuts out?

got them! tryed using a magnet like you's suggested, but it wasn't strong enough to pull the nuts along on the inside. So i ended up making a chain with some magnetic ball bearings (its like a game/puzzle thing i have) and fed this through one of the holes on the underside of the bonnet, picked up the nuts and slowly puled them back towards the hole, worked a treat! thanks guys

I bet you will not do that again!! Well done, always very satisfying when problems solved.
