lol about £40ish i think.
Supernovas do them for £20 but I removed mine as they made the bonnet lift up at the back.

It's not a huge amount, but enough to notice it.

No need to bend anything, only thing you may have to do is re-adjust the bonnet on it's hinges, but it's not much.

/\ that doesnt look too bad Shaun. Maybe like you say abit of tweeking of the hinges can minimise the lift.

It's not a lot, just a combination of play in the hinge and slight bending of the hinge due to the pressure from the lifter. It didn't put me off fitting them.

I bought a set of these awhile ago off ebay but they seemed 2 be seized or is there like a safety clip which you have to remove first??
Help would be appreciated because its very annoying:@

Apply a light oil to the piston shaft to avoid them getting stuttery. You'll not compress them by hand remember.
