As I said in my previous posts the lowline with 60mm engine mounts will just not fit below the bonnet line. How much will it not fit, here are are the photos to show: As you can see the timing belt is just proud so I have had to cut the nosecone to fit. As for the bonnet Its sitting on the engine brackets used for the crane, these will come off but its also sitting on the top of the timing belt/rocker cover. If you were doing this with highline body I reckon it would fit fine. So bonnet bulge is the way I am going (this will allow the engine to be level) As you can see the bulge will have to over the join. So the plan will be to mark out both the nose cone and the bonnet cut the appropriate hole in both. Bond the bulge to the bonnet and then rubber trim under the part that "sticks out" so that when the bonnet is put on the trim will form a seal. Here is the idea with both bonnet and nose. Hopefully you get the idea From a drivers point of view it will look like this Its not bad at all. It isn't intrusive, which I was worried about, and is about level with the tops of the wings so doesn't look like a "big nose". It certainly solves the engine level and exhaust hitting chassis problems. So bonnet bulge it is! That's it for now Paul
