ive got a carbon bonnet on my corsa and bought a set of bonnet lifters for it, when i attached them and went to shut the bonnet the lifters were to strong and the bonnet started creaking so didnt shut it , i contacted the supplyers of the bonnet and they said that i need to get ones with less pressure , had a google and it only comes up with ebay links does any one know of any suppliers that i could get in contact with ( not inxx ) also cant just use a normal bonnet stay as the bracket has been cut of before painting
thanks

You'd be able to use a lifter from the boot of a car, go down the scrappy get one and just cut and join the INXX ends onto it. Get one off a Micra or something that's got a dead light tailgate on it.
