you got alb in your car? does that mean that i have it too or is like a limited edition thing!

nice work mark, keep it up. Let us know how you get on with the strut braces and if you can ac tually feel the difference.

Want some for mine too :oops:

all VTs have it, as far as i am aware

the back top one fits, but i gotta give it some push down so it pushes the trim out to give it room to sit flat on the top of the arch. and i really dont want to chop my trim, not even a little bit.

i am pretty certain the bottom rear one will fit, and the front bottom too, but the front one may hit speedbumps - which i def dont want!!

friday is the day!

You WILL notice a difference with strut braces - everything will seem much more connected - well suppose it is :lol:

Mark, no way you can get a spare set of rear trim which you can cut and have the originals as a good set :?:

Rear lower will fit, but the front lower won't IIRC when i had very similar ones as yours.

As for the front Mark, you can remove the dashpot to make it fit, thats what I had to do!!
