As above. How do you know where to fit the raisers. Is it just a case of buying some lying them in roughly the right place and seeing what happens? Also how do they attach on?

There really easy to fit mate!
Basically you need a 3mm think plate, about 120mm long by however high you want it, think mines 60mm. So once you have that plate made you hold it up to your bonnet brackets, and mark the hole centres on the plate, then transfer the lines down so that theres two holes at the top and two holes at the bottom. Then you drill the holes on that marks and you attach the plate to the car with the top two holes and then the bonnet bracket to the bottom two holes, then the same on the other side.
Ive done it so will take some photos tomorrow morning for you as pictures tell you how to do it.
