Yes sorry thats correct the Gas bonnet lifters, I worded it abit badly sorry! 
Is it easy enough to do? and in terms of mounting points is it obvious or need to be worked out etc? Could it not be nut and bolted?

I wonder why they fitted them to the 106 and not the saxo ?? With them both being more or less the same car.

Think you'll find they actually take more effort to open than without struts initially. So that'll make the saxo owners fat and lazy I guess...? hur hur hur
