|  Strut Brace in 2006 vRS Has anyone fitted a strut brace in a 2006 vRS ? There seems to be loads of gubbins (thats the technical term) on top of both strut braces, and not sure if it will fit ? Cheers RBW.

| Re: Strut Brace in 2006 vRS It will. Takes about 25-30 mins to fit, as it is a slight bit fidddly. The jury is still out s to the effect, but it looks good at least.

| Re: Strut Brace in 2006 vRS Takes about 5 minutes to fit. All that's involved is 4 bolts and the removal of the box. |
