    Looks similar to this 185 front, where's it from?

    Never seen gas bonnet struts on a 16x?, I would like to see some lambo doors tho
    These doors are just too big for tiny NZ parking spaces, the stays have no chance against NZ wind either

    The later model I think is well suited for aggresive looking kits, might just buy one and do this,
    but the motor (Corolla) is crap - sheep in wolf's clothing!

    I was always thinking on the bonnet strut mod, so I'm very courious of what you'll end up :) It may make closing the bonnet difficult though.

    I heard that these aftermarket lambo doors are very sensitive, and you won't have as much space to get in/out as you would expect. A T23 owner here installed them this year on his car, but I didn't meet him yet.

    closing will be fine I have done it on golf 1 which bonnet is alot lighter and it worked fine but I will keep you posted on
    strut's for sure just been busy again but have all the stuff already to fit only have to calculate it so you guy's that want it
    won't have to struggle limo door's skip that mod.

    Decals are easy, any colour you want plus I can do custom vinyl or prints.
    Wrapped a Nissan X-trail in black vinyl last week for fun

    Maroon car reminded me of yours and you said you needed door trims and switches, tails?

    For the guy's that want to try this out it's the Bonnet shocks been fitted and spec's on how to do it and hope it's clear if any question's asked I will try and answer them. Spec's[​IMG] Bonnet when open[​IMG]Bonnet when closed[​IMG].
    Shocks are 40cm long when open,Thickness are 50cm but 40 would work better after I struggled.Hope you's like it I like it work's perfect better than stay rod.

    I will take closer shot's of it for you the strut's come off a BMW E90 but you can get them aftermarket they are used on
    trailer's don't matter what color you can clean the paint off them they look nicer then thee casing is aluminium it shines like chrome and yes this is all costum and yes the reverse look is also nice but becarefull I think the grill is going to be in the way

    Happy Birthday buddy, I see you you got your present already. :cool

    The reverse bonnet won't work too well, it's narrow between the lights and a pain
    when you need to work in the bay
    I prefer the hinges at the front as the bonnet can't fly open at speed but you do have to remove it often
