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  Here are some pics  Bracket with washer piping  Bracket  Fitted   In place with the bonnet 'popped'

Hell yeah - do they have a version for the GT4 Aluminum hood? It would be the same except the struts themselves would be weaker.

it was just the generic g6 one. I suppose you could get weaker struts but not too sure. The lower part mounts on a ball joint which is essentially an M4 bolt which replaces the stock bolt holding the rubber bonet stop. No drilling to do or anything!!! Unbolt old, bolt on new

So once you begin to lift, does your hood rise on its own till its all the way up?
Looks great! By the looks of it you already removed the stock lift support. This post has been edited by zero07: Oct 24, 2008 - 12:53 PM -------------------- Sorry, no animated sigs allowed.

removed the stock support so it didn't touch my shiney cooling panel lol
Lift it up a couple of feet and it stays level. Lift a bit further and opens up on its own. Same operation as the lifters on my boot

QUOTE (petna @ Oct 24, 2008 - 9:10 PM) well they are the only bonnet lifters advertised for our cars on ebay Yea, that's the person I purchased mine from also. For anyone considering purchasing beware that I ordered mine on 10th October and still have no delivery and no tracking number. Not saying they are shady - just buyer beware. I'll update if/when they turn up. -------------------- Davey

Mine arrived in about a week so may be worth dropping them an email. They sent me an email when they were shipped and another saying that they should have arrived by now. Indeed they had arrived. Drop them an email

Drop them an email Actually, if you have an email address for them, please could you PM it to me. I've contacted them through eBay but it has been less than 24 hours so they might yet respond. Initially I thought I was just being impatient and put it down to slow shipping (they are in Taiwan - shipments often take upto 10 days from there to the UK).
