yeah the motor is in the boot on the n/s so the lines dont have to be as long to reach the rams, the o/s lines are obviously longer coz they got further to go...

thought about puttin it in the middle behind the seat but the boot has just been all painted and a nice shiny strut brace is in there wanna keep it empty and clean lookin so wanted it in the wheel well and have a metal cover made up n paited to match.. looks good in me head lol
