   Does anyone know where i can get some from or a cheap price?
   and has anyone fitted these before?
   
   only thing i can seem to come across is the tailgate struts

   you could get a set from a 106 and work out a way of using them with the saxo bonnet

   ive got some off my old golf in my room, going to fit them when i have time, i have these little attachment screws that need screwing in the bonnet and wing of a saxo to make it fit, same little screws that are on the boot for the boot struts. gas struts are SOOOOOO nice, love em
