I bought it from a local shop that sell gas strut the metal element on bonnet is from an other kit that a friend send it to me from China and other type of element will fit , if you find a shop that sell strut it's easy to do a gas strut of 220 Newton (approximately 20 kilos weight) But I can't remember how long it is 60 or 65 cm because the car is on the dealer for gear box repair over a month if I will go tomorrow I will check it
