Front strut brace?

[Dan]

Ok, I know this probably won't do much for the handling, and if I'm honest I just fancy the blinging and the cool looks (well, I think they look cool anyway hehe). Would a normal Clio one fit (Phase 1 Vee here) ? Can anyone recommend a supplier? Has anyone got one on their Vee already...?

In all honesty, how is anyone going to see it Dan ?

You don't really have an excuse to lift the bonnet like on the japanese cars with bling bling front mounted engines etc.

As with you I wonder what difference one would actually make given how light the front end is and how the front suspension operates.

Would be interested to see one fitted though ...

Yea I know it wouldn't often get viewed, but I'd know it was there hehe As you say though, with the front end been so light maybe it would make a difference?

I think there was a Pic one fitted a while ago on here.

They do look good and in most cases are functional but i guess you may also need to think about access to the front boot space

A rear strut brace would be more important IMO!

Would be good to get one to fit under the covers somehow. [smilie=doubt.gif]

Just knock up a new cover. Some old cardboard boxes and a tin of P40.

I have a K-Tech stainless 182 front strut bar on mine. Took about 2 hours to make the mods to fit it. And yes, it does make a difference to the handling - for the better!

Pm me an e-mail address and I will send you some pics. If you can get the car to Norfolk, it could be fitted for you. Stainless steel bar and fitting for about £175.00 all in
