Is it really a strut brace?

ie..is it’s purpose to strengthen the strut tower?

I think not..

It’s a radiator brace ? :tumbleweed:

Discuss

That’s a good point, on the e89 the strut braces went the other way and fixed in the middle below the windscreen.

Not sure whether anyone makes those, but if they are carbon fiber, they will look good
