Product Description:

A Gas Strut conversion to lift your bonnet/hood for Golf mk8 (all models). Just like it should have come from the factory. Our new Golf mk8 Gas Strut conversion kit lets you get rid of the cheap bonnet prop that the car now comes with!

After some experimentation, we have produced a unique gas strut with the correct length and pressure for the Golf 8 bonnet. It lifts and closes with the perfect resistance, to the perfect height. 

Included is a high-grade stainless steel ball-end bracket, which screws onto the existing bonnet latch bracket stud - no new holes or drilling needed. Meaning this is a simple, and fully reversible DIY

fitment in ten minutes. 

We’re expecting that this will be a popular upgrade – even amongst Golf 8 owners who would not normally modify their car.
