Heads up..strut brace

Very good price, and I'm guessing he will wait for a buyer to collect as it's going to get some interest. Shame it's so far :x
 
Not sure how these are fitted. I'll need new bolts, and the car's due an Inspection II within 2000 miles, so I might just ask them to fit it while it's in. They can make some of their money back as I'll be supplying my own oil and replacement plugs. (I want to fit Iridiums)
 
Don't want to be a killjoy, but be aware that some people on here have reported that their insurance companies have refused cover for cars that have a strut brace fitted.

I have the same brace as you, I bought it from Craig and it came with bolts - although I'm sure you can use the existing ones?

I fitted myself, just tightened the bolts with a standard spanner

I've heard this, but it's a BMW part. I insured a highly modified Golf with directline, and they were fine with it "chipped" to 307bhp from its original 230. Minor cost. This is not a performance mod. We'll see what they say. What's the worst that can happen, it goes on the "For Sale - Z4 related" section :)

Will do. If the stealer has them and they're a reasonable cost, do you want me to double up?

Sure thing.... but I've tried that route already... Jamie @ Sopers couldn't find a part number, so he thought that they mightn't be available separately. But he wasn't sure...
