Arrived this morning and are identical. 

Not fitted yet, I'm still waiting on the peel rivets arriving. 

I've been having a terrible with deliveries from Ebay etc and even cancelled a few, however the catches are from a 'real company' and were delivered next day. 

They look superb. Let us know if the hole pitch is identical etc. 

Thanks

Yeah, no problem, but I think @itsagoodalife may beat me to it 😂

 

I've spent all day wiring up the DRL's

I actually think a washer behind each one would do a better job than peel rivets, peels look like they could 'dig in' to the grp after a while? I must check what sort mine are now!

This is the original set up on the bonnet, I've no idea what it's like for the catch part as there's no access. 

I was just going to replicate it or possibly add washers/plate, if the rivets ever arrive

Jez, this has taken an absolute age!

 

Can definitely confirm that the ones in the earlier link are a direct match for the factory ones. 

 

I used 4 x 20mm peel rivets, they worked fine however the factory ones must've been about 4 x 10 or 12mm. No great issue though on one side the bodywork was close to the chassis behind. 

I also had to touch them up with a paint pen.
