Slam Panel

Recommended Posts

Ethos

Hi guys,

 

Alot of the ones I took off were at the end of their life.

 

Service box shows this which shows the couple that go in the front I think.... although no nut the otherside?

Peugeot are ordering me a couple parts today, so if any of you can work out what I need it'd be greatly appreciated.

 

I've also completely forgotten how the spring / release works / fits back on so if anyone has a pic of that!!! :ph34r:

Ah, yes- I can see them now. So all I need are some bolts to go through :D

 

The ones that keep the grill on have completely come out. I'm guessing a bolt with washer either side will do the trick though........

 

Regarding the catch release, anyone have a picture of where the spring goes etc, i'm sure it's very simple but I honestly can't remember!!

 

Also, this slam panel has ruined the loom of my engine bay, horrible beige! Tempted to spray it black or steel grey!

No sorry mate, I meant the actual bonnet release catch! I'm nervous that I'll think I'm done it... shut the bonnet and not be able to open it again :D

Leave the grille off until you know the bonnet's working ok. At least you'll have a chance of getting into it if you've got it wrong :D

Spray it satin black as in the early phase one GTIs. The beige/grey always looks a bit unfinished to me.
