I used justcaddy mounts and the bonnet won't close. Iv seen ones with the same issue and the bonnet cut but I would rather not do that if its possible:/
Iv also seen a few that dont have this issue!
Can anyone give me there thoughts or experience on is please.
Cheers guys

I'm sure that would only change it about 15mm.
A concern is when the engine is on lift under acceleration it could damage or pop the bonnet open. Iv emailed justcaddys to

You were spot on mark1gls
Justcaddys got back to me and it seems Iv pressed the gearbox mount in upside down.. God knows how il get it back out but hopefully that's the cure!
Had a tinker earlier and it seems it will!
Thanks again

Trying to visualise it in my mind, but would,nt fitting the rubber insert upside down actually lower engine/gearbox, and give more clearance.
That's what I initially thought when pressing them in! Not sure if the are at a slight angle thou

Just caddy emailed me back thou and told me the gearbox one should be up
I may try that first as its easier to get to.
That's obviously why it leaning back so much to! Backward before I can go forward

You will of course need to buy a new mount and still press/drive the new mount in.

Do you know if you get uprated mounts or just the additional bugpack insert type?

May be worth finding some one who has poly mounts or posting up a thread to see if it's worth it?
