[Gav F]

worth more IMO

 

[bhpmad]

How much you reckon?

 

[jug]

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.

 

[bhpmad]

That cheap? Ive seen them in shops for £80 and this one looks almost new

 

[jug]

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.

dead handy for leaning the spanners and screwdrivers on though

 

[bhpmad]

Ive heard it might help my coilovers though, and my soft top has a lot of body roll.

 

[Noclu3]

£15 to see if it will help...

Not a hard desision.

 

[bhpmad]

thanks for the advice? do they all come in red? coz my car is bright yellow.

 

[AppleSei]

OMP ones all come in red, can spray it easily enough if you wanted

 

[bhpmad]

what kind of paint would i need? would it need to be sanded and primed?

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

 

[bhpmad]

its okay the strut brace on ebay doesn't finish till tomorrow, hope i win it.

 

[bhpmad]

ok it finishes in two hours I'm going to make my move soon thinking of bidding £25

 

[custard]

you dont use ebay much do you?
the idea is to keep quiet about items you want and how much you are going to bid.

 

[bhpmad]

oh i didn't know, I'm new to all this internet stuff, the bid is at £24 now so i think i will have to have a re-think for my last min attempt.

 

[AppleSei]

£28 they finished at.

Did you win it then?
