You'll be disappointed if you expect to feel a difference on a 206.

^^ as Edward says. Purely for looks on the 206 due to how the engine is setup on a subframe.

Engine doesn't sit on a subframe. Lower mount uses the subframe but that's nothing to do with it.

Apologises I missed a few words. I meant engine bay and how the 206 has a subframe as apposed to other cars like my 106 Rallye which didn't have a subframe and the upper and lower strut braces improved the handling of the car.

Here my pointless modification. Might be of some use if the bar was welded to the car rather than bolted to it using 3mm thick steel.

# Not on my phone now When fitting once you have drilled the whole and cut it out grease it or paint it and put a ruber seal around it to stop it rusting that's what I did.
