    Some of the MSF guys had tried the Redline but I didn't any reason why a whole heap of them went with Corksport instead of Redline despite Redline being in the market longer with the hood struts

    ADD: just realised installation of the Redline kits involve drilling and use of a rivet gun....

    Any comments @SarcasticOne?
    i want corksport cause i dont want to use a rivet gun and put holes in bonnet...

    am waiting for re-release, then waiting about 4-5 months

    Yeah and they haven't replied to my emails yet. Can't imagine the mounting points being a lot different so may just make modifications to them or make new brackets myself. Will let you know anyway

    Ok guys here are the Ebay ones, obviously cheap so I'm not expecting the struts to last long. I've had Ebay ones on another car a few years ago and if you open the bonnet fully, not relying on the struts to push the bonnet right up I think they will be just fine. Install took about 20mins, no drilling etc, uses factory drilled and tapped holes.

    Bonnet opens a bit wider, makes it easier to install bolt-on's
