Mk2 16v Strutbrace fitment

the price would never be right

Most of the 16v ones I have seen tend to be close to the brake fluid cap.

I'll sell you mine   

I've dribbled over the performance trim website but all well out of my price range at the mo'. Would love the roof panel in CF painted body colour along with the bonnet wings and tailgate. Then fit the decent lexan windows. Beauty of CF is it doesn't rust. 

Most of the 16v ones I have seen tend to be close to the brake fluid cap.

Yeah mine is so close it's bending the wee plastic tabs on the actual resevoir. Don't think it'd be feasible to move the resevoir/ M/c, spacers would defeat the purpose and still catching bonnet. Supposed to be a toasty 7C tomorrow so will stick the shorts on and get out into the lockup to see what's what.

Cheers

It defo doesn't fit. Even if I clear the brakes it'll still foul the bonnet brace Seems strange as it looks like the one on the website. Maybe my car is squint...

Right, been a wee while but bought another 2nd hand OMP strut brace on Sunday as I was assured it had come off a mk2 16v.

Still the same issues

Why is nothing ever straight forward on my car?

Had a thought, and looking at the pic's kindly supplied by Adam again, I'm fairly sure I have a spare reservoir from an A4 that is squatter and fatter but has same size lid. That's the theory so will see if I can trial fit it tomorrow after work.

Will put up pics if it works.
