   cool, I personally think they look good, mines the same colour as yours so good to see what they would look like and for £4.50 delivered, its not an expensive mod.

    i dont think they would suit the phase 2 but I like them on a phase 1, more of square front end makes it look good. I've only got very subtle mods on mine so it should look good And if they look crap i'll take it off, less than the price of a packet of fags lol.

    that doesnt look too bad. i think its because the bonnets smooth.
    when you have bonnet raisers on a standard mk2 bonnet it looks like too much is going on, but with your smooth bonnet it looks better.
    still not a fan of smooth bonnets though....sorry!

    Does your engine not get stupidly hot with a smoothed bonnet ? Or is that the reason for the raisers ?
    
    Looks schweet though !

    I always thought that with the smooth bonnets, unless the cold air is fed from the bumper up to it.

    Ye the engine gets hot so raelly that's the main reason it was upto 3/4 on the gauge but I put them on and its just below 1/2 now so it coolks it down loads and the air feed is down in the bumper works sweet tho
