i like the sound of that for mine but iv been thinking on some thing like 1 or 2 of these it would be much cooler to have it on a button in the car or some way to put it on your alarm key fob

Go down the breakers mate and find a rover coupe, theyve got smaller ones on the boot, just make sure you get the bolts to.

are they strong enough to hold the bonnet open and where can you place them in the engine bay of the car? Did you do it on your rs turbo? if you did please put up some pics for me mate!
