Loads of people suply them think I got mine from Venom motorsport

Thats if you want chrome ones.

If not fussy then go take a look up top and you will find a thread about using the rear hatch struts for the bonnet

I went to the breakers and bought a pair of mk3 boot struts and gave them a fresh coat of satin black paint.  Ive had chrome ones in the past and they ended up looking rusty and pitted. At least with the VW ones you know they'll last.
Its worth using some decent washers either side of the wing mounting point to spread the load as ive seen some buckle before.
