Hi just fitted one to mine, it needs to be the spring loaded type, if you open the bonnet and look at the underside you will see a circle cut out in the bonnet reinforcement just behind the latch, you need to find the centre of this and drill a pilot hole through, close the bonnet and open up the hole using increasing sized drill bits until the desired size is achieved (16mm for mine) B&Q sell large drill bits with a machined shank to fit a standard size drill chuck only takes about half an hour to do and looks fantastic :D

How legal are they? I noticed 'spring-loaded'... As I live in France (no, I'm not French!) I can see the French MOT people having a fit if I did fit one. Worth looking into though, because it looks dead good!

Too true I know what you mean! Officious, surly lot at the best of times... Looks as though they know what to look for, though, which makes a pleasant change. Usually they just throw their weight around without having a clue whether there's any reason to or not!
