I know for a fact that strut brace wont fit on my car as I now have the jabbasport heat shield. Need something that comes straight and then down to fit over the shield!

Could do but don't really fancy doing that unless I know its the only way. Iv seen a couple of straight strut braces which then just come down at the ends, just need to find out which one these are!

Just cut a small u shape about 2inch out of heat shield. Fits no problem and looks very tidy with S3 brace.:)

Cutting the heatshield is the only way. If a strut brace went over the top of the shield the bonnet wouldn't shut!!

Have a look in my readers ride thread for pics of the jabba heatshield and the S3 brace fitted.

Thanks for the replies guys, most likely going to do that!

Harty sorry to slightly hijack the thread, I have found this strut brace used by Robdon which might fit your needs. It is a bit of an expensive brace. Made by Wiechers Sports in Germany http://www.wiechers-sport.de/. There are a few UK suppliers.
