Can you get Bonnet Lifters/Spacers for an EP3 CTR?

I have been looking for some but cannot find any. I think it may help to reduce heat under the bonnet, especially when it warms up in the summer....

Take the bonnet off. Saves weight too = Profit.

IIRC there was a bloke on here asking about cutting holes in the bonnet with an angle grinder a few months back....

Do you live in England? If so, you do not need to worry about engine bay temperatures IMO unless you have an open cone filter, in which case, get a proper intake and have your bonnet shut.

you could use longer screws/bolts m8 iirc that attach the bonnet to the hinges and stack washers between the hinge and bonnet to raise the rear of the bonnet, the front should lock down still.

theres a company over on my side of the pond called Corsport. They actually have these nice machined aluminum hood spacers with new bolts.

They just raise the bonnet at the hinge by an inch or two. Nothing else is affected.

the EP bonnet is ugly enough already without not being able to shut it! leave it IMO.

+1,000,000 for leave it. They look sh1t and don't really do anything. Let the yanks buy 'em.

They actually do the opposite, putting a gap there will stop the air flowing in the engine bay as designed

Save your pennies please, these do jack s**t and at speed will do the opposite! Gruppe M all day long!!!
