Looking for ideas for bonnet catches, have the dreaded IVA to pass but don't want the ugly rubber catches. Also going racing so want something
easily accessible whilst keeping the bonnet firmly attached.
Any ideas??
Aero catches? Look nice and IVA friendly.
Any pics?
Aerocatch?

Great product and by now you will have discovered cost, easy to fit and not as robust as I would have expected considering how much they cost. I have
not had any failures. By far the best looking catches IMO.

+1 for aero catches pricey but very good and secure. I bought the lockable ones for when I leave it parked so no scrotes can muck about with the bonnet.

I have read (on web forums) of failures, I guess if you abuse them they would brake. The most likely failure is if you don't take care lining them up before operating the actuating leaver they could break. As I have said (and I have four of them) I have had no failures but I have taken care!
Coastfab have an article about the failures on their own site:

Apparently you should use steel catch pins for extreme use!
