Hey mate, be careful when choosing the struts because they will deform the boot if they are too strong *EVEN* if at first sight they seem to close ok.
A friend of mine had this problem with this carbon bonnet after 2 months! (when installed it looked/aligned perfect)
Keep us posted. :driver:

without the window in there is a huge difference mate.. when my lexan rear screen comes and is fitted i will remove it and weight them both, im sure there will still be a very good weight saving with the rear screen fitted especially a lexan one

Struts direct will do you oem spec/ fitment struts but at a lower force. They do adjustable ones so you can get it just right.
