What have you done to your car today?

[Hyburnate]

Should have been standard really.

Should have been but isn't, for the amount of money they cost I don't care

Car parts have been lost at customs so now trying to learn German

I fitted some to mine too. Considering the mk3 Mondeo had them, it was a bit annoying that the mk4 doesn't!

I'd love to have them on my Integra but with it being a carbon bonnet I don't think it's possible.

Yeah it's a weird one - It seems not many cars on todays road do! I'm sure it'll come as a shock to the guy who services it in a couple of weeks

They are very aggressive however so probably not best on carbon

My base spec Polo had a hydraulic bonnet strut, and its the only car I've had which had one... Bizarre.

Yep I think manufacturers are just hoping people don't notice them because the only person who opens their bonnet is the guy in the garage

Boot struts should be here soon too for some proper 'auto' boot opening fun

Always wanted bonnet struts on my car but have been told they wreck the way the bonnet sits and raises it.

 

[Akagi]

Luckily I don't need them on the Bimma.

Fitted a bucket:

Amazing.

Loving that numberplate

Thanks There were a few options available for the CL10 style but this was my favourite, I was going to buy YAY a few months ago but someone snapped it up

Potato pick but put them on tonight, dat ass.

What ones did you fit? I want to put some on mine as well. Both our old ghia X mk3 and my Scorpio has them, so like you I'm a bit disappointed the top model mk4 Mondeo doesn't.

Nanny state ftw.

yeah BMW's run a lot on the rear, my mates e36 is similar

Replaced the tailgate gas lift struts as the old ones had died completely, meaning I had to lift the whole weight myself and hold it open. It's a remarkably heavy tailgate.
