Default OMP Strut Brace??????

Hi guys,

Im looking to buy a new strut brace for my mk2 vts. I was looking at the omp one from Kam-Racing.

Has anyone had any issues with them in terms of bonnet clearence??

Reason i ask is that i saw one the other day (on a mk1 vts) and the bonnet wouldnt close as the strut brace was sitting to high.

Is there a difference between the mk1 and mk2 vts bonnets???


Any info would be great!!


Chewy

even if it doesnt fit you only need to cut a small section of the inner bonnet frame out.
i had to do that on the rallye

Uppers dont do anything on a 106/saxo anyway because of how close the struts are to the bulkhead.

Get a lower one
