Buy a set of our steel quick release kits. Much safer than the crap eBay ones with a rubber band:

they might be suitable to replace the bolts in the center bit, and maybe for my bonnet vent plate too! will look into those bad boys!
They used to use these for F1 bodywork (Maybe they still do for some stuff?). If they're secure/reliable and fast enough for that...

Yeah its not that im doubting, its more the accessability of having them for the wings. would be a lot easier to have something like a catch or those rubber band things on the outside of the bumper, know what i mean?

How do these work then? are the 2 small parts in the middle hooked yeah? and you then pull the big part on the spring section up and hook it on to secure?
