HOWTO BONNET SOUND DEADENER
Tools required (2 Pairs of Hands)

1st open the bonnet


Then
Get 2nd pair of hand to hold the bonnet open as if you try to thread the prop through the sound pad you will not be able to put the tabs in the back edge of the bonnet.


Next
Slot the tabs into the back edge of bonnet


Then
Squeeze the clip together and push them into the holes that are in the bonnet




Job done stand back and look at the neighbours looking at you messing with your new toy (oh and at your handywork)
Time to do the job less than 5mins.

1st
Remove the foglight covers to do this place the hook device that is in the boot into the little holes in the foglight and pull forward get your finger in the gap and pull! they come off really easy




Then get your flat blade screwdriver and insert into the holes in the bumper where the grill tags are gently lever the tab across to the centre of the car while pulling forward on the grill.
