Hi all,

I know it's been asked in various forms before but has anyone actually managed to fit some gas struts to their bonnet?

Could really do with losing the naff OEM support if possible. I'm sure it's do-able but just wondering if anyone had any success stories / pictures / parts used etc etc.

Thanks in advance for any info.

Best regards

You can probably just pick up some kind of universal ones. Probably have to drill some holes for mounting as well as flatten a section out so the hood can close properly.

I am not a fan of them though. Unless you are worried about flexing in a CF hood they serve no purpose. If the stock support arm is going to be in your way while doing a bunch of work, then you might as well take the hood off.
