Do you have any pictures of it fitted? wanted to see what the clearance is around the passenger side strut as I may need to cancel my order.

It'll fit even with the ECU there - i was concerned about this too until i bolted it on.

Still trying to find a host for the DIY guide.....lol

in step four, which rubber seal is it tight to?

and also, how much does it cost?

cheers!

i paid Â£49 but didn't put a price on as i know dealers change prices from time to time.

In step 4 the picture shows what seal it is tight against......IE the one at the top of the engine bay just below the wipers.

Yeah, any noticeable difference?

Honestly YES

Handles so much nicer when giving it some beans round corners now. Front end feels much tighter and nicer to drive.
