Hi, Just fitted a pair of gas lift struts for the bonnet. Got em from Ali Express
www.aliexpress.com
£26.55 inc delivery.
Came with the fixings, just needed a spray of grease on all fastenings. The car is already drilled and a tapped thread ready for them, but the hole is covered with a small black rubberised sticker. You simply unbolt the colour painted upper fastening bolt on the bonnet and insert the supplied ball joint bracket, then re-attach for the top fixing. (12mm nut)
The lower fastening as I said, remove the sticker, put fastening in and tighten - lower nut 10mm, upper is 12mm. Snap on gas struts and test.
On the link someone has posted pics of the job done if you want to see result.
I wish I'd gone for the red to match car colour, but then again how often is the bonnet open!!
