Cupra polished front strut brace, where from?

[Myki da Pyki]

Which on is it in the pic mate?

The one that runs down the front infront of the inlet manifold mate

 

[__B3NNY__]

The one thats zip tied to the SAI pipe?

If im looking at the one your talking about thats just a 19mm flexi that runs from my catch tank down to the drivers wing.

Oh yeh i can see it now my bad lol

Was thinking it was a water pipe lol

Guys just received notice that the strut brace will be delivered tomorrow, however as I will be at work, I will have to pick it up on sat.

let you guys know how fitting will go.

 

[Myki da Pyki]

Ok update...

The strut didn't fit!

It was too long, even with the couple of inches play (I could make it shorter or longer with a bolt).

Judging from Peachy's picture and my strut, the Golf just has too wide of an engine bay.
Furthermore, the OE bolts didn't line up. if I lined up one side it would be crooked as hell!
Furthermore, the strut itself wasn't much higher than the fixing points, meaning it was catching on the charge pipe.

So I wouldn;t even bother trying the MK3 anymore.
I think its time for the 6N, as I am still not going for the stealers one and getting it cromed.

Damn hope someone here in Holland is looking for a MK4 golf Gti strut for a bargain

NEXT!

whos gunna try the 6n then?

 

[Myki da Pyki]

lol this is becoming a habbit now

 

[Robbie C]

Surely someone like Bill must know what will/won't fit on these

 

[Reuvers]

Well then someone get Bill to look at this thread...as I am not too keen on buying another one which doesn't fit. lol

 

[h17och]

tobe honest if it aint a mk2 or mk3 ibiza one i doubt it will fit.

the only ones i know will fit are the momo and sparco ones.

why not get one of them copied in alloy?

 

[Reuvers]

Ok guys...this is still not letting me go. I still want a polished strut brace. So the below remarks came from a recent thread which might shed some new light on this: the below is from thread "Golf vr6 splitter"

Worth a new try to order??

Front of our car is more 6n polo really.

 

[Reuvers]

I guess I am willing to try it again but would be kinda bummed if it didn't fit again....
