I've always fancied some bonnet lifters (like those things that lift the boot :D ) on my car, so now I think I'll try to get some.

Has anyone fitted them to a mk3?

Will it be simple enough? Any advice welcomed
:cheers:

In fl@ppers signature, there's a link to his pics of his mk2. One of the pics shows lifters on his.

so wat are you drivin at the moment? and how long do you reckon its gonna take to complete? i'm gonna take some pics of my car soon, but my bonnet vent thing started to peel away at the front , becaus i didn't use enough glue, so that needs redoing, shouldn't take too long though.

could be and looks like mine

would do if a bit of common sense used fitting wise

Have A Look Here (http://www.swgmotorsport.com/asps/ShowDetails.asp?id=79) £29 delivered :p

NB - ones on mine you'll see DONT lift bonnet up THAT high - around 3/4 height i'd say but very handy if powerplant removal required :whistle:



And Cus - as for time (god knows) got 101 other things doing as well and driving around in pool cars @ moment -rover metro tonite-Mazda 323 Gti 2morro

feel free if you are in Cheltenham Area - just bring some overalls :thumbup:

reading the description for the bonnet lifters.. i'm guessing that i can do this myself? without having to take it to a garage to fit..

with a spanner or 2 and some patience and common sense i don't see why not

Audi do some REAL nice thick ones BUT are NICE price AND a little too big from memory
