HOW TO - Use boot struts as bonnet lifters

[DanChave]

Blatantly doing this as soon as I can!

[DanChave]

Went to Milber Salvage & Spares today and bought some tailgate lifters to do this mod 

I'm super happy with the outcome! For anyone who is interested though, Polo 6N Tailgate lifters don't work because they are to short. However I managed to find a set from a Seat Ibiza that worked a treat! I had to use a combination of both the cars fitting nuts though.

Use that hole in the wing and slip a nut in behind to hold the strut fixing bolt

quick word of advice though if you get the parts from a scrappy nick the nuts holding the front wipers on they a perfect fit
