Sorry barnes, finished early today and don't work weekends. Plus I may not have the 15 next week (NCT tomorrow & I'm dropping it straight over to the mechanic to get it serviced & any NCT stuff fixed)

They are torsion bars arent they? I'm not sure how they are located as I'm not at home now, but IIRC they dont touch. I imagine it will be easiest to relocate them when the boot is open and the required tension is less in the rods. If you can wait till the weekend I'll get you a pic.

Cars fitted with spoilers from the factory have more substantial rods, so if you despoiler your bootlid it will fling open at some rate, and if you add a spoiler it wont lift at all!
