    theres no torx bits to mess with to fot raisers
    
    simply on the bonnet there are 2 10mm bolts in each back corner
    undo them
    put the spacer between the hinge and the bonnet
    and bolt the longer bolts
    
    and btw mark 1 and mark 2 are the same to do it on

    You gotta move the inertia switch
