is that sail clip then attached to the bonnet latch/hook? if it is, not sure the bonnet would close with it on. can you confirm?

Yes it is then connected to the bonnet latch/hook. as in the first picture, and yes it closes perfectly.

yes it closes perfectly.

fair enough - I think it would damage the securing mechanism (in my case, can't speak for others) that locks the latch in place once its closed.

I've used this system for two years now and it does no damage to the securing mechanism in any way. It is also used on various other VW's, BMW's, Porsche's etc etc etc all with no damage, Sherrin motorsport use it on all thier Cup cars, Mini's cup cars and most customer cars use it all with no damage. It doesn't come any where near the securing mechanism at all when the bonnet is closed.

Sandown is a fun track. You really make up the time on the back half of the track, where the track bends and slopes to the right with a tight 90 to the left of a very fast run. You have to keep your foot down on the bending curve otherwise you will be slow... Like me

Watch the oil temps and remember the warm up/warm down laps, dont pull out of the pits like an idiot because everything has to warm/warm down (Heat-soak).

What are they asking for the day ? Pity I am up the GOR otherwise I would come along.

Have fun !
