I'm intrigued now haha it still looks pretty good. Maybe you can get less powerful struts at the same size. Thanks for the pic, looks pretty good

I agree its a cool looking mod for what its is! :) The only car I had gas struts on was my XC90 and I had the opposite issue.. kept falling down and smacking me in the head. It was super annoying.

That's what I didn't want, if it's slightly windy I want it to stay up haha

Peak Torque competition?
How about colour of car competition lol I think if they work ok with one i'm sure we can sort everyone out, i'd want to be sure about one by itself before letting the other one go so it wouldn't be a simple post out.

Totally agree. Id probably not send the other one anywhere until I was sure it worked... ideally you need a windy day to test it.

Yeah the listing has 3 available... and I cannot find them elsewhere.

Good job down my way every day is a windy day in a valley lol

Slightly concerning, but i bet the guys just gone down to wallmart and picked up some random bits that he's worked out and selling them on.

Weird... I imagined Rutland like this "I'm just popping out to vacuum the Cupra":
