...an opportune moment to have a laugh at the after-market rear strut brace. Tell me no-one has fitted one?

If you really want to labour a point, you will weaken the structural integrity of the car by doing so Last edited by SinfulDesignCom on Wed Mar 13, 2013 9:40 am; edited 1 time in total

#15: Re: Strut Brace Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Wed Mar 13, 2013 12:21 pm ---- Nothing to do with suspension the bit you cut its for the cabin air source
