Just for curiosities sake, could you please take photo's of how this attaches to the vehicle? I'd be interested in making a similar part however, I'm just yet to investigate how it is mounted. 

Interesting. Thank you so much for doing that. You gave me all the detail I could need. I was under the impression it replace the little blade edging, but it's much simpler than that. I'm going to start researching the possibility of making something similar to this.

Yeh, it was a great idea. If I do a engine cover like that I'll use your style of mounting bracket but with bonnet pins. I need security as mine is a street car and I found some where you can lock the caps with a key.
