Due to the purchase of Rocky I have some odds and sods that I’m taking off GP1499 before I sell it.
The first part is a black M7 strut brace.
It’s got a few marks from where it’s rubbed on the engine insulation, and a stain or two from where the coolant blew, but it’s structural integrity is still 100%.
I’ll post up some pics tomorrow and have only posted this now so that I don’t forget.
I’m looking for around £110.
Info regarding the Strut brace is below:

Excuse the manky engine bay but I’ve not been under the bonnet for at least 6 months and I did promise to post up pics tonight.

I’ve taken a few better pics of it.
All the parts are there and you just use the OEM nuts that are on the top of the struts already to secure it in place.
All that’s required for fitting is a 13mm socket, a 6mm hex key and an 8mm hex key. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180419/036322d4929126cfad47f0f4faec677e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180419/c4a8ee43b6fa4ad9b7e69b35601135f1.jpgnow it’s off the car.

You can see the marks, which were caused by the coolant tank blowing, but the marks are just in the black coating and have not corroded the metal in any way.
These could be sorted for a few quid at a powder coating shop.

Sorry, but I forgot to mention that this is now up for sale on eBay.
I need to get rid so that I can buy more parts that Davy will undoubtably send me the links to.

...again.
