Boot gas struts

Hey guys

Does anyone know if the gas struts that hold up the "rear door" (its not really a boot ;) ) are the same as a standard clio?

The reason being is that mine dont even hold the rear door up anymore and I am guessing that new ones from Renault would probably be horrifically expensive.

Thanks

Hi Martin,

I'm not in a position to search the site (on my phone) but I seem to recall that 255 and 182 Trophy have shorter struts to accommodate the bigger spoiler.
I seem to recall that there's a BMW alternative that works well.

wonderful, thanks so much. I cant't believe i've fallen foul of the "search" option, just didn't think it would be a popular thing.

You live and learn!
 
I am led to believe that these boot struts for a Clio 182 Trophy will be okay since the Phase 2 Vee shares the same boot and spoiler as the Clio 182 Trophy.

EDIT: Boot struts that fit a BMW 1-series hatchback may also be suitable according to this thread: LINK
 
Martin, fit BMW struts as per Lankans link. I have even put the direct link on this post. Work brilliantly at a fraction of the price.
 
Cheers for that link - had the same issup. Struts arrived yesterday and looking forward now to getting them on at the weekend.

Thanks,


Gavan
