Has anyone fitted one of these kits?

You don't need to go under the bonnet of a Skoda

fitted this kit to our 10 plate fabia a few weeks ago - seem good quality and very easy fit. you get 2 struts with all brackets  bolts and fitting instructions. delivery was pretty quick (4 days) and well packaged

bonnet does not open quite as far as with original stay - but not an issue - you need to remove original stay and orange clips for bonnet to close properly

happy with ours and would recommend

You do every week if you have a Mk II vRS, to check the oil!

Then you drill a small hole in the bonnet and get an extended dipstick, or have one coming into the cockpit.

Here's a dipstick like on the JCB loadall that we have at work:

Do you have to drill any holes to fit the kit or do you use fixing points that already exist?
