Reiger Bonnet Extension.....

**PERALBOY** · 11-06-2003 18:46

Ok ordered one of these....... and well i got it and its like a flimsy bit of plastic.

How exactly is this fitted so that when all smoothed in etc it doesnt bend and crack?

you get a wee bag of screws but i dont c how they are any use

**PERALBOY** · 12-06-2003 19:00

done now lets just hope it dont crack!

**PERALBOY** · 13-06-2003 18:56

ok whats been done is , dodgy plastic reiger bit has been bonded on, then ti will be smoothed/blended into bonnet.... so i will just have to be vewy vewy careful shutting it etc

Shakey,

I bought my bonnet extension from Online a couple of years ago, maybe try ringing if it isnt listed on their site.

**PERALBOY** · 14-06-2003 01:17

They are the same sites just the reiger one has been updated with the latest prices, tuning wouldnt charge you more than the 39. Seem very decent lads when i foned em.

**callyman** · 15-06-2003 09:54

Yeah, just for anyone who's never bought from on-line tuning they are one of the best firms out there, VERY quick delivery and very helpfull if you've any queries about their products. 10/10.

I bought one for my calibra at santa pod yesturday from PVD. they sell them for £33.

Only problem is, it came with no intructions - how the hell do i fit it???

**Pete** · 17-06-2003 07:30

The "Rieger" parts are actually Mattig. PVD have good stocks of the FK extensions which are identical, but cheaper at £37.

Baz - as for fitting them, they bond onto the underside of the bonnet

**gsijay** · 18-06-2003 23:21

**Adam** · 19-06-2003 02:04

very nice gsijay

do u recks it would fit on a cav bonnet? or is it a little bit small/big etc?

cheers adam

**Baz116** · 19-06-2003 19:47

Adam, why don't u just buy one for a cav?

PVD sell them, £33, code: FKSWL3007. (Mk3 cav).
page 44 of the catalogue that PVD were giving away at pod!

**Adam** · 19-06-2003 20:06

didnt know they sold em for the mark 3 cav..recks it would like nice with me twin headlights init

Are they flimsy though? dont want it cracking off on me on slapping bonnet down

cheers mate

**Baz116** · 19-06-2003 20:12

Not fitted mine yet, not to flimsy, but then its only made of fibreglass. other people don't seem to have had any probs! u'll have to ask them though.

did drop mine onto concrete and its still ok! and its had the ride of its life in my boot, with other bits and its still survived!

**Adam** · 19-06-2003 20:20

so how does this thing actual fit to end of bonnet?

is it one of them....'hold it against edge and smear fibreglass or sumthing to keep it in position..jobbies'?

adam

**Baz116** · 19-06-2003 20:41

I've been told to bond it to the underside of the bonnet, then smooth it in if u want to, otherwise have a line!

look at 1st couple of replies, peralboy states wot he's doing.

**Adam** · 19-06-2003 20:43

kk cheers matey

**PERALBOY** · 19-06-2003 21:28

Right for those wanting to know, when u get the part its a flimsy bit of black plastic and a bag of small screws. The screws are usless as there isnt really anything to screw into.

So what you need to do is bond it onto the bottom of the bonnet using sticka-flex or tiger seal or whatever. It then becomes pretty solid. However at this point you are left with a line (sorta gutter bit) i decided to have mine blended in to meet with the original bonnet then leave the end plastic. It will then be sprayed. This just means if u bump your car head on all the filler will crack.

I will get some pics if i get time.
