Hi does anyone know of any places that do bonnet gas strut kit for 6n1 polo's? I've found a few bit they've been out of stock for a long time. Thanks

The lower mount picked up on the wing mounting bolt, I did end up drilling a second hole as the bracket was flexing a bit and the other end went into the hinge mounting bolt replaced with a ball end bolt from the same place

It was 10 years ago but I seem to recall removing the forward mounting bolt from the hinge and replacing that with a ball ended bolt then attached the strut and found a bolt for the wing that lined up so that with the normal bonnet stay in position the strut was under a bit of compression
