Anyone fitted a strut brace to a Cooper. What kind did you get.?? Does it clear the battery ok.

I know it makes no real difference to the way the car performs but it looks cool.:cool:

Now, I've met Gaj and Calum and neither of them strike me as being little. Never met BS though. Or Wul.:eek::eek::eek:

the OMP brace fits flush on the cooper without mods and is only 55 quid from lohen ive got one on my cooper and its worth it but get the upper and lower as its a popular mistake to just have the upper one as they are meant tow work in unison its also works better than the jcw one ive been told as that is a tad soft and a strut brace should not need modding to fit

I'm thinking of getting one from Hartge but it's only for looks don't think my style of driving leans to really requiring strut braces.:I;):p
