Bonnet lifters

Welsh boy, I don't subscribe to that topic, I get notifications on topics I am part of.

Nor do I but I remember seeing it pop up as an unread topic.

Have you fitted them yet?

Are they worth it?

Yes I have fitted them both. I undercoated, painted and lacquered both main brackets and the smaller ones before fitting. With both fitted you need to use both hands when closing the bonnet but I feel that having both struts there is more support when the bonnet is up.

I had Devontopias lifter fitted to my Fab vRS and these are just as good. We'll worth it in my opinion.

I will post some pictures if you want.

I only fitted the one lifter (offside) and it's got a similar, if not more powerful, feel to the one I had on my previous Mk1 Superb. I can't see the need for two.  Easy fitting and, after spraying to colour match, looks OEM.

Rizmod, where did you find the colour spray to match OEM?

I will post some pictures if you want.

Yes, please.

Just looking at the topic... bonnet lifters... is that like shirt lifters but for people who like vehicle exhaust pipes?
