ive seen an e-tech front strut brace on ebay i like. was just wondering are they easy to fit on a 1.4 furio mrk2? do i have to move anything or is it just a bolt on jobby? i dont want it to improve handling or anything like that just want it purely for the looks realy!

really easy to fit mate and nothing to move around, tbh there more for looks than handling purposes, omp and sparco ones are a straight bar so they will brace a lot better than the e-tech one which bends towards the front then along the engine bay if you catch my drift

but for the best brace an omp lower strut brace is what you want, only problem is they will scrape like hell if the car is lowered a lot

all you do is undo the top strut bolts put the brackets on tightent them back up to 20nm i think and then put the bar on, theres two bits on the end that adjust so just do half a turn on each one till it fits right, and finally use the allen bolt and nylon nut to secure :)

ten minute job :y:

heres mine :)

You'll fit it withen 4 or 5 minutes. Ye could actually do it blind folded.

The E-Tech ones are the best for looks. OMP best for the actual job.
