Hello,
I would like to raise the back end of the bonnet on my corsa b like the white tigra on the front of Total Vauxhall a few months back.
I have taken my bonnet off but cant work out how to do it?
Any help or advise please.

Yeah but where from as I cant find any + I dont understand how they would fit as the bonnet hinges fit to the bonnet at an angle.

make some brackets and fit them where the hinges mount on the inner wings

Maybe you should look at how the bonnet is fitted to the hinge before being cocky and posting rubbish like that.
Them spacers would not raise a corsa bonnet at all.

I thought about that but if you raise the fitting then the hinge hits the scuttle panel.

Seriously are you for real? Im fitting a 20seh engine on bike carbs and Nitrous so yeah it will be needing the extra airflow with the raised bonnet.
Now please leave the thread as you are turning into a rather annoying little chav and making yourself look like a dick!!

i dont see any advantage over slating corsas on a corsa site other than to bait people into arguing. i just dont see what you are trying to achieve in a thread where someone asked for help?
is there not a lean cupra r forum you could join?

not really, you linked him an item that just wouldnt work. like he says if you knew the bonnet hinge set up you would understand that its not possible with a link like the one you provided. there is no help in posting useless information.
to then suggest he has a pikey 1.2 is just going a bit far. if thats your idea of help, well im sorry its just not helping anyone.
id refrain from offering help without understanding what it actually is i am trying to help with. hope you can take that advice onboard without becoming abusive.
thanks.

thanks for your input - but it means fuck all
I tried to link the guy to some bonnet raisers.. fair enough they dont fit or whatever.. but then he started with this shit..
Anyway im not carrying on with these pointless posts, as I have better things to do rather than sit here on corsasport tbh on new years eve... goodbye for now
