Will the struts hold the bonnet up steady though.... I'm guessing its just to make it look good and if work under the bonnet is needed then the main bonnet lifter will be needed for safety?? correct??

Nope, just the bonnet litters will be enough. You have to push down on them quite hard to close in the first place. :)
