I only have one problem, maybe someone can help me.. When i came home and wanted to put the window 'sprinklers' back in it, the bonnet wouldn't open.. So I tried a second time, because I thought I didn't pull hard enough, but now I saw that the cable came loose at the lock itself.. :thumbdown: Is there any possibilty to still open the hood??? I can't loosen the bumper or anything like that.. ****
thanks :drink:

Firstly, bonnet looks great. Really shows off the curves on it.
Second, no idea how you open if from the outside! The Lexus bonnet actually has a special cover under the cable to stop thieves opening the bonnet from the outside by pulling on the catch.

Really nice looking IS like the mods so far,
Not sure what could release the bonnet so sorry no help there

So I've fixed the problem with the hood today :laugh: Took me an hour or two and my lower grille was killed, but that was the least of my problems

I was able to remove the lock from the inside out by releasing the 3 bolts from the lock :whistling:
I also painted the window sprinklers matte black

So here she is without the lower grille :thumbdown:

Car is coming along nicely, lovely work and love those wheels. Get that grille changed and the front end will look spot on

@Jay_russell, indeed
I didn't knew you were on this forum The sills still look great :wink: Altough I still need to work out the lightning as there are some issues...It took me ages to decide what rims I wanted, I guess I made a good choice :thumbup1:
