Fitted my struts… just installed all bits, bonnet end loose… compressed the strut then clipped on, with the bonnet in place on existing stand.. 💪🦾🤣

Tbh I’ve installed larger industrial ones on machinery guarding, which require your body weight to move… These are small but mighty tho 😆, fix engine bay end tight and bonnet end loose so you can compress and clip to 👍

[Matt. B]

Did you compress them by hand? If so i gotta get down the gym.

Was debating going with the stencil or not. Might spray over it at a later date. Ia it worth installing it without the bigger pipework?

Also debating the same. Pointless going back at a later date to swap over. Wish I had gone for it in the black Friday sale now.

I looked at the fitting guides for the cooler and pipe work on the Revo site, does not look to tricky tbh however looks like a ball ache on the drive in bad weather, again looking at some of the package deals of price fitted vs delivery only it’s about 300 pounds, think I’ll pay that tbh and depending who you use it’s likely to be less. For that money I’ll let someone else worry about it but would  def do the pipes at same time if paying the labour for the cooler fitting as most of the time looks like actually spent dismantling and refitting and about 15-30 mins to change the parts your there to change. Going with same thought process with the sports cat so be a big drive in and out experience that I can’t wait for 🙂
