All Braced Up!

Well fitted front and rear strut braces recently so thought I'd get some pics up :)

Have you noticed much difference in handling with the strut braces fitted? As i've got a front one sat here at home but never got around to fitting it!!

Nice mate, but I seriously would consider mounting my harnesses in a different place. That strut brace will just ping out in an accident! Have you thought about the holes where the isofix used to be?

This is the direction I want to take my 182, same colour and everything ;)

"looks" nice, I don't think they really help though, had mine for a few weeks before selling them ;) mostly cuz I couldnt get my cricket stuff in properly lol. You DEFINATELY want to attach your harnesses to the proper seatbelt mounting points though! It will bend, and/or rip off of the rear suspension mounts.

DO NOT have your harnesses attached to a strut brace... its weak, thin metal and is only attached with two M8 nuts!

They was bolted to the floor, only had them on strut brace to see what it was like they will be bolted back to the floor over the next few days

Those harnesses are really dangerous how they are mate.

That brace will fold instantly in an impact. Not good.

Get them back onto the floorpan. That's not ideal, either, but it's at least going to hold.

I wouldn't drive it, as it is!

Lol at the harnesses! Use the original seat belt bolts and cross them over.

Edit: just saw your post, hope u dont crash in the next few days then!!!
