Well the gas bonnet lifters went in this afternoon. Took about 20 mins because I needed to fiddle with a washer or 2 to get the fit right. I've created a wiki guide on CCUK for the fitting Wiki Entry

They seem to work well. Worth £40 IMO smile.gif

Here are some pics thumbsup.gif

Can't use them on CF bonnets though... frisp is going to look into lower power rams for the gt4 ally and also CF hoods.
