I've done a search and it has returned a few things.

Is it really as simple as removing a few bolts, and replacing them with the bonnet lifter ones and the pistons?

Is there definitely no drilling involved on a Corsa B?

And what ones do people recommend?

Thanks

I fitted some to mine, i got Inxx ones from Supernovas -

All you have to do is undo one of the bolts that secures the wing (bottom of pic) and undo one that is in the side of the bonnet (top of pic) and replace them both with the bots supplied with the kit -

Then the arms just pop onto these and you slide in the clip that secures them in place

job done -

(excuse the dirty car pics)

Hope that helps out

These Innx were in a group buy from Supernovas so you get them at a discounted price, also they are said to be stronger than other lifters

Group buy thread/details for them

Cheers. And it's as easy as that?

I'm sure I'll have problems seen as I have a new wing on the passenger side.

the only bit i struggled with was getting them to pop on the ball-bolt thingys - give em a bit of brute force, and the other problem was getting it onto the second ball-bolt thing once you have it on teh first one

bit tough, but not hard

literally 20 mins if you have some idea
