Scirocco Register

with my birthday coming up soon, the other half has given me a budget so wanting to spend it on the rocco (well on bits I probably wouldnt get round to until some other jobs are done) I'm looking at strut braces, so furst has anyone used one of these front strut braces-

and dies it fit well, I've got an injection.

also for the rear just want a bolt in one so again has anyone used one of these and how difficult was it to fit/do you have a picture-

Thanks in advance for any help

The first one looks really good .
Hope it fits.

I've got one of the rear ones on. Dead easy to fit, just had to file out the hole a little to fit over the struts.

I have the same rear bar and it went straight on with no fuss.

Thanks for the reply's, there on my birthday list :)

Thought I'd post up as I have now not only got but also fitted both of the strut braces, first the rear one was an easy no problem 10minute fit :)



the front one however needed some trimming and tweaking to get it to fit, mines and injection and needed the braket for the idle speed boost valves bending and off setting-





the passenger side needed cutting/grinding back to miss the coolant expansion tank-



trimmed-





the tank also needed pushing down in its bracket as well as the lip being that hold it on top of the bracket filed off-



even that tits a tight fit againt the underside of the bonnet, for the full storey of fitting go see my build thread Eafy's White Scala :)


So rear one great fit, front one give it a miss, it might be cheap but you will need to modify it to fit the injetion cars, nt sure about the carbs one :)
