    Default VZ Calais bonnet mould fitting on SV6?

    Hey guys, mates having a bit
    of trouble to fit a VZ Calais bonnet mould on his VZ SV6. Bought a second hand one off a Calais but the bonnets seem to be different? Had a look at mine and it has a hole behind where the mould sits? What's troubling him more though is that the SV6 bonnet has no threads on the inside to screw it in just like my Calais has. It's only got some plastic inserts which seem to belong to a smaller type screw. Now my question is, is there different screws/thread inserts he has to buy to make it fit to a SV6 bonnet?

    Any tips will be very appreciated.

    Cheers!

    What are you referring to as the bonnet mould? Is it the grille, the sound inhibitor under the bonnet?

    How did you screw it in though? Because the Calais have metal threads for the screws and the sv6 only has hexagonal like holes?
