hummm..... I have some INXX chrome bonner lifters and if you let go of them they go up really really powerfuly, you have to hold the bonnet while it goes up, otherwise it wacks back and my corsa almost does a backflip, lol !

yea good point, but it can easierly be solved....like wiring the handbreak cable (ie: the connection you would use for motorised HU screens) to the circuit. That way, you have to have the handbreak on before you can lift the bonnet :thumbs: Not hard to do and would be on the button side of stuff :)

yeh i get what u mean, so say you...
1.push a button to pop the release clip
2.push a second button to pop the bonnet up so the lifters can take action.
3.hyrdaulics lifters slowly lift the bonnet into the air.

:thumbs:

doesnt that defeat the object of having a bonnet that opens at touch of a button or by remote

surely if u can still use the existing clip to hold it down it would be ok :boggle:

Speak to Midas Styling, they done the same thing to a Pug - but its on the Lambo door conversion... They can probably point you in the right direction on where to get the bits from to do the bonnet...

have to be some sort of hydraulics to lift that kinda weight tho surely.
