bought some bonnet lifters from Corsacentr.com (Supernovas)
And the bloddy things will not fit correctly and they will not compress.
anyone had any dealings with these guys? - whats there "swaps" policy like?

fitted them correctly- with clips off then re put the clips back on but the lifters look as though there bent like this ) ( not that extreme though,
But i have had them on a box and ive tryed to put all my wieght on them, they just will not conpress
I have tryed to pull the bonnet down and it made an awful crek - fuck doing that again...
Am i best emailing them before i send them back or should i just send them back, i never usually bother with stuff like this, but i really liked the idea of them

they do bend slightly but i never had issues with them not compressing
they are hard as said for the first few times, but do get easier
however, overtime, they do start to leak and stop working  which is what mine did and I put it down to the fact they do slightly bend...

I've got them and they're OK, might be a dodgy set. They don't compress by hand though, takes a fair force.

Yeah, they need to line up with a bolt hole on both the wing and bonnet, cant go wrong really.

i did mine before as a matter of fact and mine where a bit hard to compress so i just wacked loads of vaseline on them and got my dad to push down on one side and me on the other at
the back of the bonnet.
Seems to work fine
