anyone fitted one of these on the 2.2?
ive tried every which way but cant see how it can fit.
the bonnet dont close by miles, unless im doing something realy stupid, i cant see how it could fit.
you would have to remove the earth junction box and it hits the bonnet switch

anyone got an picks of one fitted?

I know planty has one fitted to his 2.2 will see if i can find a pic

well the one i have from LMF def dont fit, and it only says not for V6 on the web site so i would have though it would, but not in a hells chance.
it will only go on one way and it sits on top of the fuild resv and the relay box, not just on it, pushes them down

Show us how you're trying to fit yours

ive taken it off now, but there is only one way it would go on.
the opposite way round to this pic

if you try the other way round it sits on top of the cap to the fluid resovoir and also sits on top of the bonnet alarm switch, but even the other way round it squashes the relay box and resovoir itself

cant find anyone with a vec b 2.2 who has one of this type fitted.
ill prob end up sending it back

All the images I've been able to find are either the V6 or 2.0
