Post by: jesam on December 12, 2014, 19:13:32

Just had an idea  is it possible  to use rear boot dampers for the bonnet had a good look at the boot and it looks like it might  work with all the brackets  plz give me your  thoughts

Haven't tried it, but you also need to make sure the torque, Nm, of the dampers fit the weight of the bonnet.

I would be surprised if it isn't possible to find aftermarket dampers for the bonnet.

EDIT:

Found this:
