Tyson Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 these were one of the things i had planned to fit to mine, but i dont know of my bonnet will hold? its really light weight carbon fibre stout hood, it drops at one side when its open with the standard bonnet stay Mines the same Pete, i have a CF Top Secret one. I'll let you know how it goes if i fit them tomorrow. The struts are designed to work with a certain weight so as long as the CF is significantly lighter than stock you should be ok, otherwise if it's too light it will catapult open and potentially damage the bonnet amongst otherthings.

Tyson Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I would be more worried about the fact they are constantly trying to push the bonnet open and if you don't seat it on the catches properly it is likely to fling open whilst your driving !!!

Josh Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 I would be more worried about the fact they are constantly trying to push the bonnet open and if you don't seat it on the catches properly it is likely to fling open whilst your driving !!! They're not. When the bonnet is half way closed, it just falls as normal. The dampers are pretty much horizontal when it's closed so they're only pushing on the brackets so won't be pushing the bonnet up at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Pushing down on the bonnet when your shutting it would be my concern if you have a fibreglass based type, if the dampers are quite firm then i'd guess you'll be cracking the bonnet before long unless your very carefull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraDan24 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Fitted mine just now, the left side fitted no problem at all, the right side was a right pig. I still dont think its right now tbh, its at angle and it flex's a bit when it fully extends. I am using a top secret CF bonnet though. If you only open it say 80% of the way, it works fine, closes nicely too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
