Hi m8 just wanted to say you might want think twice before getting these because my brother got some for his Corrado and they started to rust like anything about a month down the line. It may have been the make of the lifter not sure just to let you know. But Personalie i think if you got your bonnet holder the one on there at the moment chromed it would look better  :cool:

Hello, I know of a bloke who put bonnets lifters on a mk2 and the bonnet sat up higher than it should. Dunno if I would do it to be honest.
