Im having the same problem, ive only saw OMP strut braces for the Gti's and cupra's but not for my 1.4.

Wud a gti one be alrite to put on or is there a specific OMP brace for a 1.4??

The rear brace is no problem!

 

[Benji-boy]

well i ordered a sparco red rear strut, which hasn't come yet, so we'll see how that go's.

but the front one was an e-tech polished alloy one, which has come and the mountings for the top of the struts are wrong.. they dont fit...

can you send me a link of the front one's that might fit please?

ps: can anyone with a 1.4 send pics of their struts and mountings, front/ rear, if you have them please?

again, help appreciated

back to larkspeed AGAIN this morning, try and get the '99 onwards one.

i previously ordered the pre '99 one.

see if this one is right...

 

[m0rk]

not if you have a mk2 the 99-02 won't be right at the front

GTI one is the same for the 1.4

however a front lower one dont fit as it hits the sump on the 1.4

As far as I know, a GTi one will fit as the stuts are still in the same place

Do not buy from this firm.....

They don't know what they're selling - take your money & deliver very slowly.

Really?? I've heard nothing but praises about them so far. Was planing on using them to order my strut braces.
