These were previously only available for later UK cars, now they have Mk1 ones that should fit Aussie cars. They're a bit on the expensive side, but it would be nice to have the bonnet open that far  http://minivation.net/product/mk1-mk2-v ... ft-hinges/ |

All depends on the quality of gas struts I know they only last a couple years on hatchbacks I replaced them twice on a Honda integra we had for about 10 years |

And hopefully you don't open the bonnet as often as you open the boot.... (except to show off your fancy hinges I guess) |

I'd be keen on a set, but not for $200 - I think $80 is about the most I'd pay |

Not quite the same but cheaper and does solve head banging problem Buy http://www.minispares.com/product/Class ... o%20search 2 quick release springs from the minispares kit MSSK019 ( springs only , cost very little mark hinges for fit , use dremel or file to create a slight flat on existing bonnet hinges ( look at the picture of mssk019 to see what i mean , voila bonnet comes off...... i haven't done it on a roadie, so not sure of legality Darryl |
