As per title, has anyone changed the standard bonnet prop for gas rams on the Toledo KG3? Got gas rams on my Leon, and it's so much easier to manage with the weight supported on gas rams - struggling with lifting any weights after my shoulder operation and hoping to make things a bit easier.
Thanks in advance

I have these on my Toledo; bought them from AliExpress for around £25 IIRC. They work very well, fitting was straightforward. Only issue is that the bonnet is quite low when in the fully open position - easy to knock your head. I guess this is the downside of designing something aftermarket for a car that's actually quite rare.

OK, took the plunge and ordered a set of gas rams from Ali Express. Just less than £18 including postage from China, and they arrived in 18 days. Literally 10 minutes to fit. Very pleased with the outcome of these, certainly a nice little upgrade for minimal cost
