   pretty easy to fit just takes time to adjust the bonnet so it fits correct with a even gap all around. buy a decent set though as one of my mates got some and they were just really thick washers and the bonnet moved around on them.

   You do mean raisers and not lifters to hold the bonnet up eh?

    no probs. if you cant find any you could always make some out of 2 peices of aluminium and a saw and a drill just get some longer bolts and washers from b&q mate.

    oh n u should have two bolts either side of the bonnet, at the top near the window, unbolt both bolts, lift the bonn
    et up n slide the raiser n washer into place then use the new bolt n put it in n secure it.
    
    then repeat for the next 3 n u have a raised bonnet
