weak and flimsy though, good for doing your hair in, but not much else tbh.

seams pretty sturdy to me, think im gettin an omp after crimbo, as iv got a omp lower to go on, so think il match em up :)

but for origonal question, any for a saxo vtr/s or 106 gti should fit :)

for a mk1 sure the omp upper brace you need to take the bonnet rod off or something to fit it.

[Steve]

e-etech brace good for nothing tbh

[maynard]

for a mk1 sure the omp upper brace you need to take the bonnet rod off or something to fit it.

which part has to come off?

[Steve]

which part has to come off?

the black rod to hold the bonnet open, so i believe anyway.
sure people with mk1s normally get teh sparco upper brace.

i only got my 2 uppers i have had as people with mk1s had them and didnt want to take the stays off.
(had 1 on my mk2 vtr which i sold nd 2nd is on my mk2 vts)

[maynard]

so if the black rod has to come off what happens when you need to put the bonnet up?

[jonezy]

a broom handle, or them gas lifter jobies

[Mr_suv]

gas lifters are awsum where can u get them for a vtr?

[Mr_suv]

and are they easy to fit?

[maynard]

do you mean gas dampers? would it just not be easier to keep the rod handy and put it back on when bonnet needs to be lifted up??

[Steve]

so if the black rod has to come off what happens when you need to put the bonnet up?

keep it in your boot, so if you ever need it, its there. you can un hook it and take it off.

[pjsaunders06]

where do you find these gas dampers then, also any one know where i can get a yellow omp upper and lower brace lol

[maynard]

oh so its on a hook, ive never really bothered looking. that makes sense then.

dont think you can buy them like it, just spray it yellow when you get them.
