    No such joy for me, Liam.

    Morning rush joining a fast moving motorway, one of those split slip roads with the hatching between the joining lanes, I was in the outside lane. A couple of grand in tools in the boot and still half asleep if I'm honest.

    Accelerating hard to try to slot into.the traffic, must have been doing 65, then BANG!! Now I'm awake!

    I just about managed to squeeze myself onto the hatched bit before it ran out and someone saw what had happened and stopped to let me across to the hard shoulder.

    Arguing is pointless....she may not be right but she's never wrong

    Tell her a remap is just having your satnav updated.....

    Hi mate, had this happen to me last year, changed for an Egg Crate Grill and thought the latch wouldn't fit (it does, just has to sit to the side of the center..) and it flew up at 35mph, I had to replace the hinges and bonnet (eventually wings as they are a bit scuffed too).. This involved dis assembling the front end lights / facia and removing the wings.. Taking the wings off was a hassle as there is one tiny 8/10mm nut that on most cars has corroded on the inside (one near battery and opposite side, both behind the headlight units). In all honesty it was quite a hassle. Make sure you have some replacement retaining clips for all the skirting / plastic flashing for the wheel wells etc. Good luck.
