bonnet lifters

Does anyone know if you can get bonnet lifter blocks for the clio.
I have never seen this done on a clio before. Has anyone had it done and does it look any good.
Thanx

Useless unless you need them imo.

Turinis are popular because they look good, unlike bonnet lifters

have you ever used or even seen a set? Work good on mine as the exhuast manifold tries cooking my throttle body and bmc. Take the rubber seal off at the scuttle pannel and the heat just rises out. Dont need it but would rather the heat not cooking stuff

No point in just getting them for 'show' though when they look daft!

Fair enough each to their own.

I've never had any problems with heat in the engine bay of my 172 :S

what like your car?

Well mine doesn't carry the "it's been in a head on collision and the bonnet hasn't been replaced" look; so no.

 

[A18XHO]

even worse though it carrys the "im a wannabe 2.0 but struggle to do 60" look

Just looks like the bonnets bent? Pointless.
