General strut brace
Just done a quick search on yahoo which seems to back up my theory, doesnt seem to be anything that gets in the way on fitting (eg on cinq the battery can get in way on sparco strut brace) and is something you can probably do yourself 
with just a few bolts on each strut top need undoing, pop the strut brace on then pop the bolts back on ontop of the strut brace and bobs your uncle (note this is just theory as i havnt personally fitted one to a coop before )

the LE coops were fitted with a sparco strut bracefiattech said:
all of the strut braces fit in the same way, the only reason you would have any problems is if there is anything in the way (dependant on the route the strut brace takes), which by a quick look on yahoo and fccuk etc there doesnt seem to be any that are that much of a bother to fit

Wish I had a lie in I want to be off now till say Jan the 5th. Unfortunately that Ain't gonna happen. Hasn't stopped me bringing mince pies in to work lol
Don't forget to post a write-up after you fit the Strut brace, let us know the price etc. I had a bad experience with strut braces, I bought one for my Astra GSi a couple of years ago, made sure I was buying the correct one, and yet it just used to touch the rocker cover and made the most awfull metallic sound when cornering. I had to sell it for cheap in the end.
I'm sure the one from the AA will fit fine, I Always suspected demon tweeks sent me the wrong one

Good job you kept this on topic, I would have had to delete your post. (I have one green blob you know)
I don't need to buy you anything my dear, you seem to be doing just fine yourself (mmm let me see Coop, Bravo, Strut Brace, "Rings", DV36, the list goes on and on)
or have you got a secret admirer funding your coop addiction ?
