To release the Aero catches, first apply a downward force on the smaller area of the catch, highlighted in figure 2.4
below. This will allow the larger section of the catch to pop up. Lifting the larger section up retracts the locking pin
from the lug which is mounted to the chassis, as shown in figures 2.6 and 2.7.
The last two fasteners holding the bonnet are Protek over centre type catches. These are located to the side of the
front wheel on both sides of the car as shown in figure 2.8.
To unlock the catch, push the sliding block in the direction of the green arrow in figure 2.9, at this point the rear of
the catch can be lifted. The catch will now lose its tension and can be unhooked from the mount.
With all six fasteners released the bonnet can now be removed from the car.
