Oooo how much are these ? Easy to fit ?

How do you go abouts closing the bonnet now - you dont have to push it down on the bonnet itself?

That is one nice looking engine bay - Loving that strut brace - got to get myself one of those.

Cheers

Remove the top bonnet hinge securing bolt then place the upper bracket / ball joint, then secure with same bolt, dont overtighten. The lower section ,remove the middle wing bolt, then replace with the lower damper ball joint. Connect damper to upper and lower joint, insert the wire clips to stop the dampers popping off the upper and lower ball joints, job done :thumb:

Open the bonnet, lift, there maybe slight resistance to half way open, the dampers will then take over. Closing the bonnet, there will be slight resistance as you lower to half way, then close as normal. Please note, resistance is only slight. The bonnets weight and gravity does the rest. No pushing or pulling required :shock: Hope this helps....

Yeah put name down on the list and we'll give them a go why not.

On a seperate matter - with regards to the strut brace did you not much difference after fitting? It does finish it off nicely.

I have both front and rear strut braces fitted, does stiffen the car alot, also exe-tc suspension fitted. I did have some high speed handling issues but this was due to the exe-tc suspension sitting on the front bump stops, hence no damping :shock: the tyres was taking all the load, so my arse was constantly gripping the seat when cornering :x all sorted now.
