HOW TO - Use boot struts as bonnet lifters

[Shady Pioneer]

this is great!
i ordered some struts off ebay, so they arrived today but without the bolts D:
ahhh someone help? what can i do?

Go to a scrappy and get the bolts from the boot struts there?  Thing is this isn't a normal mod to do, so people selling the boot struts are selling them for replacement boot strut use, not for use with a bonnet. In which case they expect you to use your old bolts.

Which kit did you get from eBay? Mine was from eBay as well and I didn't need bolts.

You actually bought a kit made for the purpose, I think Mazza bought standard boot struts from a MK3, which do the same job but aren't made for the purpose.

I don't know about you but I prefer the black boot strut ones as opposed to the silver ones. Keeps it looking original then. Why don't you have a look in the Classified section and then go to Breaking For Spares. I'm sure someone will send you the 4 bolts and nuts you need for pennies

yeh i know what you mean bout the black, chrome isnt for me, too blingy haha, but yeh good idea, cheers dude

Think it was about £15. inc delivery, I would have just gone one from a scrappy but theres only 1 near me and it doesn't have any Golfs in
