I wudent mind bettin that it would improve tha aireyodienamikx ... and windflow over tha veh hikle so there:D
 
I've had mine in all positions possible, and i dont mean the wife! :) (Although hanging on the back door being driven down the motorway in february is appealing).

On the bonnet looks ruffty tuffty but as you WILL be opening the bonnet often it gets to be a real pain due to the weight...I didnt mind the 10 second oil/water checks but working on the engine with the thought of the bonnet support failing and sending about 10 stone onto the back of my neck began to concern me...it only has to happen once...a bit like sleeping with the wifes sister, seemed like a good idea at the time but wont want to do again!!

Stick it on the rear door, easy to get on and off, no visibility problems, i found the wheel on the bonnet acted as a collection point for stones, snow and rain that hit the windscreen harder than a goose hits a yank jet engine.

My tuppence....Mark

Sorry to hear about your failure with the sister in law, lifes like that sometimes:D, I'm available Tuesdays and Fridays if she's getting lonely:D

Any way, I've taken on board your observations and if I decide on a bonnet mounting then I'll make sure I have a good stiff prop if I'm dipping anything thereabouts, wouldn't want any failures in that department would we:eek:

Getting it up is easy. It's the keeping it up that seems to cause the most problems.:D:D:D
