I would have done them tonight but had to watch tribal wives as we (wifey) met some massai people last year on our honeymoon in Kenya!

To be fair, if the bolts were the right size, it would of been a 10 min job.
Once i get these bolts cut for vix, i coudl probably to it in 2 mins flat now.

Fitted mine... pretty easy really! Local hardware place had no 6mx20m hex bolts in stock so I ended up getting some "normal" screw type as a temp solution.
Carbon bling!!
Brackets are ok... Did anyone have to bend them to fit better? - I didn't but I felt they could have been adjusted slightly better to fit the bonnets angle. But I didn't want too mess the angle of the pivot joint....
Another view.
Oh and thanks to KitKat for the comptech bar

I see Si went for the 'wrong way' round approach (according to the destructions), either way up they seem to work fine however.
They do look good with all the other carbon options in your car Si, very nice.
