Default After Bonnet Struts Info Plz

Hi

Has anyone fitted bonnet struts to their Mk5 RS2000?
Anyone know which ones are best to use? are they any good? and are they straight forward to fit?
I was thinking on a set but werent to sure what were best?

if you mean the aftermarket bolt on type then plenty over the years have used them however they do need a little fabrication to work with cutting and drilling holes on your inner wing lip which does look ugly tbh

its a personal taste thing really as I may dislike them but others love them, I just cant justify drilling holes in a wing for a lazy boys bonnet stay

Know i agree it might give a better look but for the effor of the drilling and new wing lips i think its a small mod i could live without tbh.
