Strutbrace.co.uk... anybody tried them?

Just after a strut brace for my M and came across this site, has anyone used them before?

Can anyone recommend which one I should go for?

They look reasonable quality from the pics. The 'web' design is almost identical the the Schnitzer version (see the e Bay link below). I would prefer to see the item in the flesh to confirm quality and fit before I parted with my money. There is very little clearance beween the bonnet/hood and the top of the engine so again would want to confirm this clearance. Other than that it a matter of choice and which one provides the degree of 'stiffness' you are looking for as the designs and the material will function differently.

They do look beefier then the OEM one though tbh so worth considering
