| ive got mine today, in good condition, thanks! even got instructions too, shame its in german.
Antony, looking at the piccies, & from what ive translated, as lucky for me, i can read German, u need to drill, with a 6mm &/or 10mm drill bit into the wing, so u can screw the ball joint type bolt in there, so the strut can attach to it.
as for the other end, i think it replaces a bolt from the Hinge on the bonnet, but i will have to check to see if the threads match.
other than that, looks like a fairly simple job. Hope this helps???

Black Magics instructions are pretty much bob on.Fitted my today, I had to drill with a 10 mm bit into the wing to attach the ball joint and replace the bottom nut of the bonnet hinge with the other ball joint and hey presto fitted. It took about 10-15 minutes and looks the dogs.
Still havent had a reply the pricing issue though.  | |

| i got a set of them for my calibra and there quite good actually, all it took to fit was a 10mm spanner, i simply took one bolt out the bonnet hinge and one out the wing and hey presto  | |

Any further questions , dont hesistate to ask | |

| I quite like the look of these, If I got the rears as well, would the rear lift when pop the boot, or are they not that strong? | |
