alternatengine 0 Posted July 17, 2006 Not what your thinking DIRTY BOYS! I have a full set of AVO coilovers on the front of my Pug. Not a hundred percent sure what causes it or if theres a fix but my car has recieved some nipple like bumps on the bonnet due to impact with my strut bolts. Is there a simple fix for this as the Auto bonnet i have is under attack! Damn Edinburgh Roads! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tidypug 5 2 Cars Posted July 17, 2006 i've just used regular top mounts, actually thinking about it i've never replaced them so they're probably ready for some new ones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mak 0 Posted July 18, 2006 I have nipples inthe middle of my bonnet, not a clue how they got there but there you go. Anyways get the yelloe pages out and look for a local dent man. Most can be pulled out form the underside of the bonnet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Craigb 2 Posted July 18, 2006 Are your strut top flat ? This usually comes about after years of hard pounding when the strut tops bend in the middle. Knocking them back and welding a reinforcement plate on does the trick on the rally car . May be of some help , maybe not Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sorr 0 Posted July 23, 2006 Try using the adjusters on the front of the bonnet to raise it slightly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
