Would it matter if they were upside down?
Would they still hit the wing then?
Tried that. When they are closed its the thicker part thats hitting the wing and stopping the bonnet closing properly. So when the bonnet is down, the thinner arm is completely inside the thick one.

The guy I got them from is a user/member on here too but can't remember his name! Deleted the pm's ages after I got them through!
And the ebay link doesn't have any useful info on it.

Tim2001 or Evil?
Possibly. His ebay ID is aiken something. I aint wanting to have a go at the guy. Just curious if they are the right ones or if there is something I have not done with the fitting?

Send him I PM, He's a good seller and I am sure he will sort it out or let you know whats wrong.
Have you asked on Astra sport too?
Sent a mail to him by ebay. I don't want him to think I am hounding or harrassing him.
I aint a member on astra sport but will join up later. Gotta get ready for work soon.
Thank you for the help, Lee.

This might give you an idea (Posted from Astra sport) : http://www.astra-sport.co.uk/bonnetlifters.pdf
Yeah. I did all that. Even had the wing bolt out but they were just too fat.

byrons had a set of L shaped brackets which held them away from the bonnet and off from the wing,
pm him and ask 4 a pic..

I got the 'L' shaped bracket too, but still doesn't help.
Do you know what make they are?

Just found this
Anyone installed bonnet lifters (inxx) on a MK4 Astra
Think they are a hit or a miss....
But someone in there said to fit the 'L' shaped bracket to the lower bolt hole... which was worse.

Sorry to dig this out after so long but I would like to say that I eventually figured out what I was doing wrong with fitting these! Its sorted now and are working a treat!

so what was wrong then?
The 'L' shaped bracket was pointing down instead of up.
