    Hi Matt,

    I’ve got the bonnet gas struts from ford performance and it was a bit fiddly to install.

    Watch the video on Adam Raineys channelšŸ˜‰

    Keep going with your mods –Ā  I like them…

    Small update. Got an early Christmas present for myself, a Scorpion sports cat. Were in the process of moving house so didnt go down well with the wife. Will try and get it fitted in the new year.

    There are two lots of struts Floating around for the rs mk 3 the ones from the states that are a ridiculous price but no need to rip engine bay apart, they just attach to slots on inside of engine bay easy Pezzy Bespoke. And there are the ones over hear , which you have to remove plastic part of engine set up almost remove the bonnet as well , yes itā€™s a pain in the ass but do watch video , Iā€™m sure you will crack it , if I can do it , youā€™ll succeed, Iā€™ve had mine in since car šŸš™Ā was bought a great mod , and heaven to be able to work underneath bonnet with no daft bar , take care šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ¾šŸ„ƒšŸŽ„šŸ™šŸ»ā˜ƒļøšŸš™

    The ones i have you take the plastic bit off. I just cant get the strut to compress enough to latch on to the ball joint. The video says to push the bonnet further up but i dont like the thought of that.

    @Matt. BĀ  Ā if you are fitting the genuine Ford ones be careful as they fail (unless they have updated the design) I fitted some in April on my car for a day and when I checked they were ready to fail and when they do they break plastic, I was lucky I checked.

    My struts came from the forum shop, yep had to push the bonnet up a bit further, so it all ā€œflexedā€ a bit, then it hooks on and drops back when you let go.
