4th gen bonnet dampers

Post by **ddoubledanny** » Sat Jun 02, 2012 8:26 pm

Right so I got some bonnet dampers today from hong kong

Anyway while fitting I thought I'd take some pics and do a little write up.
Don't know if any one has done a write up but it's fairly basic
On a scale of 1 to 10 being 1 very easy it was a simple 2. Here goes

First of you have to undo the 10mm bolt the top one

Now you need to put this plate on fairly simple lol

Sorry about the pics taken with my iPad

Anyway now you need to undo the middle bolt that holds the wing on this one

And now simply bolt this beauty in

And now the easy part push the dampers on and put 4 c clips on one on each
End of the dampers

I didn't get any pics of the c clips forgot lol any way from this

To this

All comments welcome and I hope some one can make use of this thanks dan

This

I heard they were a bit dodgy with the fit when you close the bonnet.

Here is the eBay link hope it works
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bonnet-Hood-S ... 2572wt_806

And yeah the bonnet closes

and the fit is good

but and there is always a but

Obviously the bracket for the dampers is quite thick so when this is fitted it actually
Makes the bonnet sit higher at the top. You wouldnt notice because it is only raised
About 5mm. And if you like bonnet raisers it would look even better. I'm still undecided about bonnet raisers.
