Re: Strut Brace

define worth?

the RRP is about £55-75.

the benefit is almost nothing.

the value is whatever you are willing to pay.

used strut braces often go for £10-20 on ebay.

Re: Strut Brace

its only a metal bar at the end of the day. boyracer bits cost a fortune because people are willing to pay it, that doesnt mean its worth it.

Probably need a good amount of prepping especially as it will be in the engine bay where it could get a bit warm

Yellow spray paint would be ok following the prepping i wouldve thought better asking that Q in the bodyshop section
