    I've found a company in Germany that does them for 105 quid delivered,having a few problems with paying (i'm getting there though!).Fitting is a 5 minute job undo 4 bolts place the brace and replace the bolts,thats it just make sure it clears the brake fluid reservoir and that the bonnet shuts.

    As long as you dont have IDS+ you should be ok, I asked regal about fitting one to my estate and they said they weren't sure if it would clear the IDS+ sensors on the Shock mounts so i cancelled it..

    I asked these a while back: http://www.wiechers-sport.de/ for the price on a strut brace and they emailed me a catalogue. They want 149 Euros (around £100) but they never emailed me the postage cost. Not sure how much it would be from Germany.
    Also, I belive "vectraturbo" on here got his from Lexmaul in Germany for 174Euros (inc shipping) to Sweden. Read here. A few pics there too.
    I fancy one but I aint paying £140 for a bit of metal bar !

    Only problem is paying for items in europe. The banks make a charge for a money transfer (can be £20 or more) and you cannot write cheques in euros. If you can pay visa or paypal the problem is solved!
