do them in, but the other way around so the pins have to been undo from the middle of the bonnet...makes it abit harder for people to undo a pin from the pavment if there gonna #### about with them lol
or is your having them down do the opsite way...because if you have them that way and the ring comes undone the pin will slide back if its the other way the wind force will keep the pin in place..

mine go in...mainly because i figured it would cause less distortion to the bonnet / bracket once they were bolted on.
Fitted mine first time with no issues...though i spent far to long double checking lol...just put the post on first, then a bit of blue tac or something on top of that, close the bonnet till it touches and where it sticks cut a hole...then line up the bracket and youve got the three bolt hole locations.

no offence or anythink like that and im not #####ing, but carnt you make a choice for yourself? the whole point to modding a car is to do it your way and you keep asking people how you should have your car. slowley but shurley your car is becomeing wot outher people want/think not your personal taste, try makeing this choice yourself a dont think you can bugga bonnet pins up to be honist

Just cause I ask peoples opinions doesn't mean I'm going to do exactly what they say does it?

i think you should just do them long ways, ive had both my sets fitted that way and no problem at all, i think if you put them up/down the bonnet they could open which wouldnt be good...there is a part on the bonnet which seems like its made for bonnet pins, if you unscrew the rubber parts from the panel theres a hole which the bottom part will fit and on the bonnet side a perfect circle that you can cut out neatly, easy said

They can't open mate as the round bit closes over the pin and it would have the pressure of the bonnet on it aswell.
I was going to use the holes just next to the rubber bits.

do them at an angle then
did that on my car
best of both worlds mate you should check out the flush, locking bonnet pins i got for my rally car, they are really nice, i think you should use them
