Never seen it done on a st200. Not really a fan of bonnet raisers.
Got any pics what it looks like with the bonnet raised?

Be prepared for, "Your bonnets open mate!"
it may have it's advantages of 60%+ extra heat loss, but for purposes of sanity, it defo has it's disadvantages!!!!

why would anyone have a raised bonnet on a rst, unless they garage the car,
battery trays dont need an excuse to rot, let alone opening it up to the elements.

I had them fitted to an RS as it needed more air flow but did make it more agressive also
