bonnet mod

[Ninj]

Just fitted mine yesterday - no worries at all.

They are fairly gentle in operation - no risk of bending the bonnet.

Probably less than 10 mins and about a tenner if you get the bits from a scrapper http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=112349.0

these are a tiny bit shorter than the one's on my boot, but it'll do until i can find longer ones,
all works mint, just got the 13mm bolts and fitted nuts to the bottom

Apparently some can damage the wings, thats why i'm in two minds about putting mine on, although probably will put them on anyway...

If your'e planning on opening the bonnet catch and allowing it to fly up and bounce when the struts are at full extension - then dare I say, you'd be a bit of a wally and yes, you could damage something.

Clearly the bonnet weighs a lot less than a boot lid.  By using the same struts, they're naturally going to open it with more force but having an ounce of common sense and a bit of restraint - you aren't going to damage anything.

I have them on mine fitted by the previous owner.

They are aftermarket and very soft so maybe thats a good bet?

Yes it's only holding up a bonnet.

Haha... 

I meant they seem very smooth when opening and closing the bonnet.
