firstly it looks like this:

it bolts onto the two strut tops and basically make the chassis a bit more rigid so that it doesn't flex as much going through corners etc!
£50 from Seat and should fit ur car i do believe, someone should be able to clarify that for me tho!

yup it does fit..just found Dinos guide for the Seat strut brace on his 9N..Will it make much of a difference on a 1.2? Or is it more effective when ive got my coilovers fitted?

i fitted mine before i had coilovers and i could tell it was fitted! the car felt much stiffer through corners, maybe slightly less roll!
i think it would work on ur 1.2 as u still have to go round corners don't ya :D

Think I would lose the lower chrome grille but the top one looks fine.

Can't fault the rest and the exhaust looks very neat. :D

Just ordered some of the 9n3 GTI side skirts for my 9n, (£23+VAT each from VAG Parts, bargain!) :D

Anyway, was wondering how they attach to the car? If you could get a few pics to show how, that'd be fantastic :P
