Picked up a Vorsteiner CGT; Hood struts or shocks for 06 CGT?

I just picked up a 2006 Bentley CGT and the hood does not stay open. I am sure the hood struts/shocks need to be replaced. I know many things are shared with the VW Phaeton and Audi A8, does anyone know for sure if those cross ref with any cars in the Audi/VW group?

Here are some pix of the car

Nice ride!

Gas spring/lifts are easy to source/find. Just read the part number and look it up. I have been using this guy for my needs:
