Hi all.

I have a 95 chim 400 (altho i think it's the 94 model) and i've noticed that me bonnet doesn't seem to fit right!!! It fits fine at the very fron edge and fine at the very back edge (windscreen) but it doesn't follow the line of the wing edges, instead it drops below the wing edges almost 1.5 inches at it's lowest point. I know the car has had a bump at some point so i'm not sure if the bonnet has been smashed and repaired badly or if early model chims are meant to be like that???

Can any one tell me if they've seen a chim with a bonnet that fits like mine???

You can adjust it with the oval adjusters half way up the wing on both sides.

1.5 inches!! That's about the depth of the vents. Are you sure you're not looking at these vents?

Mine doesn't follow the wings perfectly either, although the gap isn't as bad as yours.

I don't think I have the oval adjusters mentioned by V8 Animal either. I'm away from home at the moment, so can't check.

Does anyone know if these can be retro-fitted?

No it's defo the wing edges not the vents! I'd be interested to know if anyone stocks the oval adjusters to altho i dont theink my bonnet will adjust that much....i think it's been repaired badly so i'll probably have to wait til winter and cut and re-repair the bonnet frown
