So Winter's here!

Beef-Mc · Oct 11, 2013

It's official, my boot lid no longer stays up so Winter must be here.

Curious to know which struts are required to replace my ones, do I go for the BMW ones I found linked on here, or the Trophy one on the SGS website?

Cheers folks!

I went for the Trophy specific ones and they work just fine :up: Much cheaper than the OE ones.

The Trophy struts have been installed on a couple of Clio V6 255's, and given that the tailgate and spoiler are identical in both models, I would say the Trophy item may be the safer option.

Mine have never stayed open for as long as i know so i will most defiantly be buying the trophy ones in the next few weeks.
