Golf Mk8 bonnet damper

The new Golf Mk8 comes with a bonnet prop rod that looks cheap and inconvenient for a car of this class.
The RacingLine Performance bonnet damper replaces it with a perfectly calibrated gas strut that opens and holds the bonnet exactly as you'd expect from a modern car.

👉 A product you shouldn't need...
👉 ...but once installed, you won't understand how you lived without it.
