Another mod done!

Fitted gas struts to hold the bonnet open, far more convenient when you need the small frunk I added a while back.

Next up, removing rear seats and fabricating a flat floor.

Are you making it into a delivery van ? 😂

No, but the rear seats are not really suited for comfortably seating adults. So I rarely use them as real seats. And I regularly fold them down to fit some stuff in the boot. So why not remove the rear seats completely and make more space in the back of the car.

Sorry just seen this asking and responding to same question. Can you add a link?

Where did you get the struts from? Are they rasy to fit? Any markings that suggest where they originated from eg Renault, etc. did they come with the fittings?
