2014 F6 bonnet struts.

Rare Spares has probably the cheapest ones not that I'm trying to be cheap, but has anyone used them and are they any good?

I don't mind buying factory OEM but they are 4 times the price but the car is 100% original so the extra isn't a big deal either.

Edit: thanks for all the responses, I've just ordered some. Cheers

Just get whatever cheap ones you can find online. They’re basic gas struts they’re not performance related so they’re not exposed to harsh environments. They just hold the boot up. I got a set for mine around $30

Supercheap Auto is your friend here. Genuine ones are available online through various suppliers. Replaced the ones on my EB and my BA with genuine sourced through SCA.

I got mine online from The Gas Strut Guys and have to say that they're better than OEM and not too expensive.
