Default Intrest Check:- Lower H-Brace & Rear Anti-Roll Bar

Hi

As above I've a front H strut brace and rear anti roll bar.

Both Ultra racing parts but both parts are re-painted again in white.

Also have a top strut mount (omp) that fits the V40 phase 2


I'm in Kilmaurs scotland, work in Glasgow. So meetup or collection fine

PM me

Hi No photos just now. I'll get some later today or tomorrow.

I still need to give a top coat on the Ultra-Racing bits,

The OMP is in red.

I have an S60 now so no use to me anymore. I guess £100 + postage at whatever it costs would be good for the lot. Sounds reasonable?

I'll try link some pics from my old posts

Ok Heres a pic.

There a bit rougher than I remember. Nothing major but I should have finished painting before I left them. A rub down and fresh paint and all will be tip top again.

I'd rather meetup but I will post at cost. Looking for £80 for all 3 I think that's a fair price given they need a paint.

Hi, does (or did) the diesel engine cover fit back on the car with the top strut brace on? If it does and you want to split I would take that, would have to pay for postage as its a bit far to collect!

Cheers
Phil

Hi

The exhaust was close to the Brace thats for sure. From memory I might have put a little exhaust wrap on the brace at one point, But I was swapping turbos so often I think if the exhaust was sitting properly it was fine.

Here's a pic with the Engine cover on. I seem to remember having to monkey about with the wiper motor cover, But I cant remember quite what. Its still there so couldn't have been anything much.

I'd rather not split but If I have offers for the others I will.

Looks spot on. Drop us a message if you get an offer for the bottom brace.

Cheers
