    Yes sorry thats correct the Gas bonnet lifters, I worded it abit badly sorry!

    Is it easy enough to do? and in terms of mounting points is it obvious or need to be worked out etc? Could it not be nut and bolted?

    I've had bonnet lifts with custom brackets made for over two years but never got round to fitting

    I wonder why they fitted them to the 106 and not the saxo ?? With them both being more or less the same car.

    Because the 106 is a classier car?

    Because 106 drivers are fat and lazy god forbid them having to use energy to actually open their own bonnets.

    Think you'll find they actually take more effort to open than without struts initially. So that'll make the saxo owners fat and lazy I guess...? hur hur hur
