Holes In Aluminium Bonnet

[Ten Four]

Right, I've got 2 holes in my factory GTR bonnet from bonnet pins which can't go back on cause they broke whilst coming off (old).

Who can fix the holes? Any random body shop or do I need to take it somewhere cause its aluminium? Rough cost?

Or should I just get some of these fitted? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-D1-sanko-plus-flush-bonnet-pin-kits-drift-nissan-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem4156bdf424QQitemZ280628163620QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_4378wt_972

What would you do? Cheers.

I doubt anyone is going to want to weld those up.. when I was looking at getting some sort of bulge in my bonnet, no-one even wanted to go near it with a cutting wheel for fear of it warping the whole bonnet.

in my opinion i would go the bonnet pins looks good and cvers holes at same time or i would just get a new bonnet from somewhere

I cut up my ally bonnet with an angle grinder, then glassed and fillerised one of those walkinshaw bulges to it... no dramas

I'd just fit new bonnet pins on or glass over it, smooth it out and respray

not that hard to weld , if your panel paint guy is worried get them welded first then give it to him

but bonnet pins is ok too

I'm probably going to get some flush bonnet pins.
