omp for less than 50 quid, try demon tweeks, venom motorsport etc
Yeah I'd say Demon Tweaks or Rally Design. I think SC.net members may get a discount with Demon Tweaks

just had a look on the OMP site cant see a listing for a 1.4 front upper. but there are a load for gti's etc. one of those would fit woudnt it? suerly the only difference would be if the engine got in the way and i cant see that being a problem. also what are the differences between the 2 steel versions available?

Do you need to drill the strut huosing on the MK2?

lol jase, i drilled the holes with a decent bit then coat the screws with copper grease. worked for me tho i did go very gently with the screws when putting them in as they do look a little fragile.

I'm quite interested in a strut brace.... are the OMP braces of resonable quality? If the supplied screws are prone to snap it dosent sound like it :(
