General Bravo Bonnet Gas Struts?

[Bravo16VSpoonz]

hello people.
is there any aftermarket struts avaliable, i tried looking at my tailgate struts to fit for the bonnet, but theres no chance with that..so like i asked is there any other ones to buy? or could i actually modify my rear struts ?

In due time i have a new bonnet to go on my car, im going to be converting it to gas struts using the strut bolts from a Stilo and modifying the bonnet to suit

Alternatively on the BOO site theres a dedicated page to bonnet struts

there was actually a set selling on FF a while back for £40, but advertised for the marea, id imagine they'd fit the bravo too..but that is the only set ive seen made for them..yeah ill check boo out now and have a look into the stilo struts too

Same car different wings and bumpers at the front that is I have the bits from a Stilo i just dont have the time yet due to college etc as it would require some custom brackets and a few holes to be drilled... Afaik the bonnet struts are the same as tailgate struts

If you do decide to get a set,when fitting them it's handy to grease the ball joints on them to help stop them corroding,going weak and snapping.

These are what you want. I got a set last year and thet fit and work perfect. Just be careful not to overtighten the ball joint bolts as they can snap (i found this out and had to redrill the hole and get new bolts)
