Anyone know if its possible to pop the ball stud out of the bonnet lifter bracket?

See if i could flip it around but it wouldnt work anyway. Gotta find somewhere else to mount the bonnet lifter.

Why?
To fit the strut brace?

Yeah the bolt hole on the brace is directly under where the lifter sits on the bracket. There's an empty hole on the other end of the lifter bracket i might to use.

you can see what i mean in the pics above

No need to, just modify the strut brace mounting plate to suit.

Put it on ebay and get an S3 one m8.
Not such a bargain after all.

S3 one still needs cutting regardless. and theres none kicking about that aint 3x what i just paid

Drove to Cardiff and back from Brighton today. I'm bloody knackered now, but it feels like the injector cleaner is kicking in and I didn't have any problems with the brakes, which is probably for the best when you're spending most of the day at upwards of 70mph.

I definitely need to sort my bushes - those motorway link roads with the tight turns and the 50mph limit I used to be able to do confidently at 70, but now it's just not as planted.

Really looking forward to getting the handling on point though.

Facebook Marketplace, was a bit cheeky and asked for best price, the guy knocked off a tenner
Albeit I had to drive 40mins to pick it up but had a blast on the way back

Got it almost back together - failed on the undertray - too many damaged mounting points/clips missing - not the ideal time to leave it off but dont have much choice at the moment. Still its running , drivable and seems to be working as it should
