Cool :) i got some, but my mate who was going to install them was worried when there fitted as there quite deep they would hit the plastic slam panel section therefor the bonnet may not close properly at the front.. No problems there then?

Mine none at all. The gap you see on mine is simply because I need to realign it properly haven't as yet. Main issue for me was the bonnet atm which is now removed pushing it up.

Cos it's so light, the arm isn't held down as much like the old heavy bonnet. The natural action of the bonnet is to swing open so if it's light enough it will push up, and as a result we have a slighlt push up on one side - solved by removing it....well for me anyway.
