Carbon bonnet struts Fiat 500 / Abarth 500: what they are for

Carbon bonnet struts Fiat 500 / Abarth 500: the two gas struts that lift and hold the front bonnet open, with a real carbon cover. They fit the Fiat 500 and Abarth 500, but not bonnets with side gills. Sold as a pair, left and right: the bonnet has to be pushed equally on both sides to open and close straight.

The material: Carbon

Carbon fibre is light and rigid: for the same shape, it weighs less than sheet metal and does not deform easily. The visible weave, beneath the transparent resin, is not a print: it is the actual fabric of the piece.

How it is fitted

The pack contains the full installation kit, with instructions. No changes to the bodywork are needed.

Compatibility

This part is designed for the Fiat 500 and Abarth 500 and should be checked on your own car: different trims and years can change the mounting points. If in doubt, send us your chassis number and we will check before you order. Fiat and Abarth are registered trademarks of their respective owners: this is a compatible aftermarket accessory, not an original part nor approved by the manufacturer.

Care and cleaning

Wash it with water and mild soap, just like the rest of the bodywork. Avoid abrasive polishes and directing a high-pressure washer too closely at the edges: the resin on the surface is hard but thin, and once it has become dull, it will not recover on its own. If you keep your car outdoors all year round, you can apply a wax or a protective treatment for painted surfaces.
