tobz,?
my bonnet lifters go on the supplied bolts. one of which replaces one of the bolts on the bonnet hinge the other looks like a self tapper but replaces one of the wing bolts, so no drilling needed. got mine in the sale from euro car parts about 3 years ago. they are made by inxx or something wack like that, they work fine but have started to rust recently. but who cares for a tenner?!

I'm also quite interested in them, could you pm me with some details??

why not just have the arch lips rolled back then you will be able to run 8x15" et20+ all day long at a -40mm drop.
