Cheers shaun have some rep, do you have any pics of the other side, where it attaches to bonnet?

[Shaun_O'Donnell]

I don't, but they bolt into holes already there on the bonnet arm. Might see it in this pic...

Supernovas do them for £20 but I removed mine as they made the bonnet lift up at the back.

im really wanting a set of these at the mo.
how much is the lift at the back of the car
and someone said you have to bend the bonnet a little bit for them to fit properly. and idont fancy bending my bonnet lol

[Shaun_O'Donnell]

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.

[Pistol Pete]

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

[Shaun_O'Donnell]

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:@

[Shaun_O'Donnell]

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