Spotlights/bonnet gas rams - MINI2

fakesnake · #1 (**permalink**) Aug 6th, 2009, 07:58 AM

Finally getting round to fitting some spots to my R53 MCS. However, having now read the fitting instructions, they describe using uprated bonnet gas rams/dampers if you have xenon headlights/washers. Has anyone actually bothered to do this, or if not, is my bonnet likely to develop brewers droop when open due to the extra weight (which I find hard to believe!)
Thanks for any help

Thanks -going to stick to 2 in view of potential cooling issues (esp if I get the pulley done)
