easy, if you have cheap one though you will have to bend the ball joint nipple part to accomadate the angle of the bonnet, as you will find the strut will not mate to the ball joint.

I can take some pics to explain. :thumbup:

I am not into comparing buddy..... :giggle: rephrase that statement please

Yep have some pics you need to remove a bonnet bolt either side of the bonnet hinge and a bolt on the wing and replace those bolts with teh ball joint balls and washers.

You then have little circlips you fit on after yuo clip in the strut to the ball joints to stop then coming off.

This pic shows the bend on the top ball joint to get teh strut on. Also you have to file a bit off the back of the struct cup to stop it hitting the bottom of the ball joint. Can take closure pics if needed.
