I know it's not a great picture but can anyone confirm if the strut brace is a proper Volvo one ?

I can't get to car at the moment to double check.

Looking at your brace, I think it could be a partsforvolvo pattern. The tube diameter looks too big, the bolts look like cadmium plated and could be going rusty and the fuse box is not sitting correctly. If you compare my posting you should be able to see the similarity. I haven't got a photo of my genuine one as fitted, but can measure the diameter of the tube and photograph a close up of the bolts for comparison - if it helps. When selling, the description needs to be correct and there is a definite premium for genuine. I just got lucky with mine.
