    vitesse bonnet

    hi bonnet refitting on my vitesse , the car came to me dismantled so  is it best to refit the valance and over riders first then the bonnet or other way round cheers paul
  8. just done it definitely worth doing body off, took me around a day body on to replace the lot inc cylinders and bleeding.
  9. I don't think anything being discussed should need any cutting off - just a few bolts undone. The frame is held by the four bolts through the rear of the boot lid and the four that attach the hinges. The support bracket is held by two of the four bolts at the back. was thinking of the bit that fits to the inner wing , do know the part that connects to the boot brace is bolted may have one if required 
  10. can see if the one on my parts car is good and cut off, sure i have some support stays
