bonnet lifters?
« on: 11 April 2005, 15:28 »
has anyone here fitted bonnet lifting struts? I quite fancy a set but don't want to be drilling any holes in my new car just yet. How do they fit?

cheers :smiley:

hi you dont have to drill any holes you just take 1 bolt out of bonnet hinge(dont think you spell it like that)and take 1 bolt out of wing, replace with your new ones and clip in the new struts ,hope this helps, dead easy even i did it.

Euro car parts do them, I expect there's one near you somewhere. I'm getting mine from my local one in the next few days if they're chrome ones they sell. £20 +vat per pair, I'm way to impatient to order any by post :rolleyes:
