[Andrewcupra TDI]

Got mine on Wednesday and fitted it this morning inbetweeen the snow showers!

It really is a well made peice of kit and looks quality once fitted.

No pics just yet though. Forget to take one earlier and its snowing like mad at the mo so im not going outside!

Butch.....did yours turn up in the end? Or did you manage to get in touch with Mike?

 

[buch bdm 400]

unfortunately it didnt come. mike said im on the next batch.

 

[Mashburn]

Its worth the wait mate!

At least he's not forgotten about you.

 

[buch bdm 400]

he did say he was gonna try send it this week but ive not heard anythin. get some pics up man tease me

 

[Mashburn]

Oh here you go then........

And its bloody freeeeeezing out there!!

 

[buch bdm 400]

that looks wicked. how was it to fix

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

i assume this wont foul my under tray shelf thingy , looking at piccs its seems to be lower than the plastc sides ,

my shelf literally sta juat below parcel shelf

 

[Mashburn]

Thanks, Buch, i think so too!

Its very easy to install...............

when you have this guide to follow!

Not sure if the boot tray thingy will fit or not. As you will see in the guide, it doesnt quite clear the plastic side trim and you will have to cut a very small peice of it away.

good guide really cant wait for mine even though i have not got my car back yet.thanx for the link i was hoping the brace would come with a fiting guide.lol

[Funkyfin2000]

Looks like this is just what I need!!!

Guys, can you tell me if theres any drilling of turrents like the front audi strut brace i had fitted?

I also have a dog and travel long distnaces, can you post up pics of how close it is to the back of the rear seats?

How easy is it to remove as well everynow and again? If I did go on a long journey etc etc!

Just read the guide! hehehe! no drilling needed..

will it help my unsteery leon tho! I guess it will as the front end of my car is very very tight!

[Mashburn]

It's pretty close to the back seats, so still plenty of room in the boot.
And it's very easy to remove anyway, only takes a minute.

Thanks for the prompt answer Mashburn!

I thought it was a drill affair at first like my audi strut brace up front!

Taking it out sounds brill for long journeys with the dog in etc!

For all who is interested in a Rear Strut Brace (As purchased before through SCN) these can be obtained from Hughes Engineering their E Mail address is : [email protected] the guy's name is Mike.

These can be purchased @ £75 all in P & P included no limit on how you can buy.

Mine is already ordered!

How long does he usually take to email you back? I emailed Mike yesterday but I don't want to appear like I'm hassling him, maybe he's finished for Christmas having made a killing through a nice little side-line in rear strutbraces.
