I did fit some of these INXX lifters to a 206 years ago and they were of good quality doing the job well. Just a little concerned that they're not specific to the MK2 and have read a few horror stories on other forum sites about eventual adverse affects on the bonnet itself. Have seen other threads using the tailgate struts but....any advice appreciated..
i think tail gate struts will be to hardcore, the mk1 golf ones should be good?
little bit of modification but as long as they're not mounted on a weak point you shouldnt get any creases in your bonnet from pushing them down?
how much more does a mk2 rocco bonnet weigh compared to a mk1 golf?
Birdy has posted a how-to on fitting bonnet lifters before - he has them on his car. I couldn't find it in the FAQ, so might be worth sending him a PM to see if he can tell you how he did it.

Cheers fellas.....may get a set of the INXX ones and see how they measure up compared to the tailgate struts and take things from there. Also found this in the meantime: http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?4574353
