Bonnet gas struts

Post by Simmo63 »

Has anyone sourced or fitted hydraulic/gas struts to the bonnet of Polo GTI+, preferably no drilling or welding required, I would be interested to know how it went & suppliers of a kit.

Bought some for my GTI, really easy to install. Just be careful you don't mark the paint when unscrewing/screwing the required bolts. 5 minute job. viewtopic.php?f=71&t=70450&p=572990

Got mine from AliExpress for roughly £20.

There's some UK shops selling them, however they're double the price.
