no on the back, sounds very similar to mine. I just popped the little access panel off and put the brace over the strut. then whilst gripping the strut under the wheel arch, i tightened the top bolt over the brace using a deep socket. i'll go and dig out the pics.

don't know what you mean Adam?
for the front one?

yep, sit about 1 1/2 inchs high.

does it have the little cup things that sit over the struts?

so do you think it's ok to buy this set of 3 strutbraces on ebay?

its the fk one, same as my old one.

dream on, to put the rear one on you have to remove the plastic trim cos there isnt enough space to fit an impact wrench in other wise, it cant be fitted using a spanner.

then you have 2 more to fit which might require moving some engine components.

i had to take my front 1 off to get the NoS fitted and havent ever put it back on and to be honest havent really noticed any difference!!!

yeah front top one is easy, its the rear one which is a pain, i bought one, then sold it cos i couldnt be arsed to take all the plastic panelling out just to put it back and it squeek, lol

DOH!!! Thought he was just on about the engine bay 1!! I is a fool!!! :lol:

to put the rea one on you have to remove then plastic trim, slot it over the strut brace, undo the top nut on the shocks, slide the strut brace on, do it up using an impact wrench and airline, then put all the plsatic back.

thanks Kris TD but I know that DIY means do it yourself lol
one of my mates works in a garage so...
