you wont be able to compress them by hand mate, i tried when i got mine you need to remove a bolt out of the bonnet either side and screw in one of the ball bolts. and the same for the wing, will try and find a pic of mine for ya

I think mine cam with them, they can be a bit fiddly but its pretty easy to do, couldnt find a decent pic of both fittings someone else might have one, but you can see where the bolt in the wing needs to go

Yeah defo a good idea to get someone to help you, that way you can use both hands

As rob said you don't need to drill holes, just remove one of the ones on the bonnet hinge

No you take out one of the pins off the bonnet hinge (i forget which one off top of my head) and replace it with the ball type pin simple

i cant get pics on at moment mate but just had a look when i took them and its the 3rd bolt on the wing and the 2nd bolt up on the bonnet (the other shud have foam on it like) take this out first then line up like...you need to remove the pins from outside the balls on the lifters and replace them once the balls are pressed in.

i brought mine the other month back and the was slighty bers on the inside pins (caused hell) you might have them same probably...they wouldnt simply click in...i had to remove the pins and file them down and place them back in. Took me a good hour or 2 tbh, but a great little mod...owww its posh lol
