Not sure if anyone is interested in these but if we can get 10 ppl, they work out to £45.40 each delivered.

Here is the link for info

A word of warning, we recently had a similar group buy for these on Lude behaviour and have had some problems. They are a good looking bit of kit but read through the following thread and you will see what i mean

by the way they might not be US based, they could be in taiwan

they give the impression there from the US, but the product comes direct from taiwan

think there is problems with fitting on the 4g

its not perfect on the 5g, I had to mess about with them abit to get it right.

but its all good now, and they hold bonnet up no problems.

maybe tein bonnet dampers would be a safer bet for a group buy, but more pricey.

I had a set from that seller. They were a good fit, but they were not quite powerful enough to hold the bonnet open. So I sent them back for a refund.

After reading the LB thread I'm glad I pulled out before they actually paid, looks like it would have been a lot of hassle if not

bit of a horror story isnt it. was gna say mods could u delete this thread from the group buys, but maybe it should be moved to the review section to let other members know to stay away!

Thanks god you let them know JLB!!

Yeah as you can see weve had a problem or two Mad Feel like Ive let everyone down and its not my fault Sad I don't know about other manufacturers but the ones gofashionshoppe sent me aren't correct!

Basically there isnt enough room for their kit under the lip of the 4G bonnet. As both kits are identical a couple of members have asked me to sell their so called 4G kits onto 5G owners. Fitted to mine perfectly and I have no complaints! If you have a 5G and are interested, then send me a PM and I'll sort you out. Wink

fitted mine to my 4g today had to cut a very small amount of metal from the bonnet above the bonnet bracket to fit them but took 5 mins at the most to do and to be honest could be filled easily if the dampers were removed. no other mods needed the bonnet closes fine

ill get some photos up in a couple of days
