just ordered the seat sport strut brace, just woundering how people fitted them and if it is easy. was told to take bolts out when car is on ground.
yeah as antfr said its a doddle, 2 bolts either side by the top mounts. had to do lots of trimming on my engine cover by the dump vlave but took my time and looks cool now! will try and post a pic later if you like.

This is a pic of it in my engine bay, does make a bit a difference up front, but as AntFR said it is a bit crashy!
Its a bit trickier on a Tdi cos you have to remove the shift box??? on the o/s strut to get access to the top strut bolt's. Here's mine!
It's a PITA when you want to clean the air filter, I have visions of loosing one of the nuts from that box thing when installing/removing it.Stephen O said:
Little tip when changing the air filter. One of these methods wil do.
Just undo the n/s strut bolts and 'tweek' the brace up.
Remove the whole airbox, it will come out towards the battey, its only the airpipe, MAF and one 10mm bolt.
The 'box' contains the EGR and N75 solenoid valves btw.

no bother ........ just un do the air box end and theres enough room to lift it up to get access.
