63 AUD is like under 48 USD... Not calling you cheap, but come on :p I don't think you'll find, or want, a cheaper product than that

Gas Strut Limitation
If you plan on doing your own wrenching you might want to reconsider installing gas struts. You will loose the ability that the stock support has of moving to the second position and holding the hood (bonnet) in an almost vertical position. Makes for very easy access to the engine bay.
Just my 2 cents. |

I have the Grimmspeed ones and can vouch for how wide it opens the hood. Makes working underneath there very easy. A bit out of your price range but they are good value
