Anyone want to see if it fits the 9n? Known to fit Fabia (see above).

SEAT Part #: 6L0071710

Should be about Â£50.

Info off seatcupra.net and briskoda.net

Deek
(Happy crimbo, peeps!)

Cheers for the info deek. Toxxin told me about his one a while ago and I was going to give it ago. The "Seat Sport" sticker can be taken off, and it's made by Eibach afaik

I vote Nelson to try it

Oh, and merry xmas to you too

Hehe, thats my mate Ross' car! His Fabia vRS has 182BHP and 326lb/ft!

Yes the SEAT Sport badge is just a sticker, so peeling it off and getting some petrol on it means you won't see it anymore. IIRC it's actually a Momo item.

They are about Â£50, I'll take a look in the SEAT accessories catalogue later on. Mine cost Â£38 thanks to the dealer

I put mine on the TDI yesterday and found no difference on standard wheels...however on the TT wheels it made a hell of a difference!

After seeing ross' car, i went an brought one for my vRS. It works and looks the part, being the same colour as my car.

Should be getting my (undamaged

) one arrive at the local SEAT dealer tomorrow.

Looks like the FSi engine cover may be too big to accomadate it. So it looks like i may have to flog it on before i've even got it

wont fit any polo?

Nope, ECU is in the way and the bulkhead is curved rather than straight like on the Ibiza and Fabia

Hi there,

First of all, I apologize for my poor english but I think you will understand me. Portuguese itÂ´s more difficult

I have a VW Polo 1.4 TDI 9N with a Seat Sport strut brace in my car

The brace surely match in your car Nelson!

Regards.

Got one already thanks, although I hear it has been sold already anyway

Neil, my bulkhead is curved too...must just be an FSI thing as to why it doesn't fit.

Hello,

Any modifications at all carmadaaron!!!

The strut brace:

It takes 5 min to mount.

The same motors in Seat and VW will be compatible with this bar, I think.

The FSI doesnÂ´t appear in Seat models? Try to take over de plastic cover of the motor...

Cheers

correct me if i am wrong... but taking the plastic cover off will lose your air box and filter... which is not good!!????
