Hi All,
Have considered fitting an upper front strut brace to my Furio. I have three questions:
a) Is it worth doing, I know it will look good but does it improve handling alot?
b) Can I use a 106 one, as Demon Tweeks don't do an upper front one for a Saxo.
c) I hear you have to move the fuel cut off switch, is this a wise thing to do?
Thanks for you help,
Tom

With an OMP one you shouldn't have to mave anything coz it comes out towards front to avoid stuff but you will have to move the bonnet stay

Did you fit the brace? I was thinking the same regarding the clearance and hadn't thought about a lower brace. Would be interested to know how you got on.

I did and it was fine, I just had to move the fuel cut off/inertia switch.
