You'll be looking a long time then, they all need to be bolted to the strut towers or they'll fall off!  :grin:

Don't bother with the cheap ones, I had a £25 OMP one on my MK2, and besides the fact that it made no difference at all to the handling, it required the header tank to be relocated using a poxy bracket, and after the 20th time the header tank fell off the bracket I gave up and binnd the brace, leaving 4 rusty holes in each strut top  :angry:

But like RJ said they all need to be drilled as there are no existing bolts around the MK2 strut tops that you can use  :cry:
