These items are designed for use on racing cars, to stop the bonnet flying open during agressive manoeuvering. They are marketed as a "bonnet pin kit". These type of fittings are also useful on other situations, where the use of a flexible quick release fixing is required. They have been used on trucks and buses for many many years. These ones are very good, and are made by the Race X company.
Race X do a catalogue, which is very good, you will find over 300 styling items on sale, including stunning red or vivid blue aluminium pedal pads, Titanium look gear knobs with rather sporty leather gaiters and the like. There are also practical items, e.g. locking wheel nuts wiper blades etc.
They also sell a large array of other trinkets, tax disc holders "go faster stripes" and rubber mats, Plus of course the usual range of high performance induction kits, otherwise known as cone shaped air filters.
This company Race X has a lot of history, they have been operating for quite a while now, and they are beginning to aquire a very good name. The company does sell quite an extensive range of styling equipment, that the (predominately) young customers require for making their motors look good, and while some items are purely just for show, they actually look pretty good, they are not really what I would call improvements. However, when it comes to the looks of these items, they do have quite a good range, and the quality of the kit does seem very good. I have checked the website for price, however the rubber hooks are not listed, so you will have to try your local retailer.
A lot of Race X stuff is available at the large number of A1 Motor Stores, this Company has chain of shops, and also a decent website, see it here:- www.a1motorstores.co.uk.
