Strut Brace

[ben450]

Hello peeps

Im gonna get a front strut brace for my cupra R. Someones got one from a MK1 TT and MK1 S3 on facebook are they the same. Also how difficult are they to fit I know holes have gotta be drilled not sure if I trust myself doing that lol

No drilling is required, you will need some extra parts though. here are the numbers:

· 8N0 199 403 B - Audi S3 lower strut brace
· N 908 106 01 – riv nut x2, for lower strut brace
· N 104 176 01 - bolt x2, for lower strut brace

Ah sweet alright mate cheers. Where did you get the bolts from? Are they nut and bolted or do you need to tap threads in once drilled? Im gonna get its powdercoated anyway so cutting a notch wont be a problem.

Its vulcanic rubber in spray form. Just spray it on, if you want to remove it, just pull it off (see youtube for examples)
