Lol. So I've got to take it off again Tbf, I've had to take the cross bar off to change the vanos solenoids. I'll see what I can do when the snow melts off it !
Gotcha. It's very close. You won't open I don't think.. You can mount the strut tops on the opposite sides and mount the bar the other way though. TBH, it looks at home either way! I'll sort one when the freekin snow melts off it lol.
I have the Wiecher's 3.2 brace in polished aluminium sitting new in box, for sale. 99euro plus postage.
(Ended up with black style (2nd hand M3) brace instead)
