I would have thought that a modification to put in two bonnet struts would be relatively simple. I am considering doing the same thing so I can show off the 'soon to be dressed' engine bay. I have seen a few VW/Audi aftermarket struts that would do the job, just need to look at how they would be mounted. You can get std black ones or polished finish. As far as I can see should not cause any problems as the bonnet will still use the same catch etc to secure it!
