Default MOD: Plastic caps for wing bolts

If you want to cover wing bolts under your bonnet you can do so with black plastic caps part number 'N 036 321 2' -- they cost pennies.

You may need to do so for the following reasons:

* you want to have a bit more sophisticated look.
* your wing bolts are rusty.
* you changed those bolts for brand new ones and they are unpainted.
* you had to loosen those bolts and then tighten them again to adjust wing position for a finer gap between bonnet and the wing (yes, wing is adjustable). This may damage paint on those bolts.

Nice - need to do this on my boot hinge bolts as they're a bit rusty from previous adjustment

Update:

Those caps appeared to be cracking after a couple of years under bonnet, so I changed them to more advanced ones, that cover washers as well. They are made of softer plastic too.

Part number N 910 706 01 and you'll need 12.
