One of my guys was going to buy from a specialist & then found they were cheaper from OPC with TIPEC discount & no hassle about whether they work. |

Got mine from German French Swedish. It was a while ago but they were £15. Discount for club members as well. No postage as I have a local branch. Heated rear screen still works! |

My bonnet struts came from there and so far so good. They were indistinguishable from the the worn ones too. |

I bought the front and rear sets from a dealer on fleabay. about £47 for all four and postage  They work okay but must admit, I didn't fit them. My mechanic saw they were in the car waiting to be fitted and was fed up with the bonnet dropping on his head  I did have to refit the rear hatch wire for the heated screen. |

I did my fronts as the bonnet would regularly try and knock some sense into me when the wind got up
