The strut tops need drilling and the resevoir needs moving,,,not sure on the lower one.

well got my exhaust sorted out custom from the cat back and kept my peco tailpipe and chattin with guy there and he explained wat needs to be done, as u sed above really but showed me how to move the bottles so its a start. might give it ago tomorrow. but i got a system from cat back so polo feels smoother
and nearly went into the back on a crazy person in a 307, brakes work atleast
will post pics up if i get it done tomorrow !

I no the upper struts only fit on a 1.4 or above because things get in the way.
as for the bottom ones im lookin for one for my car!
I took the Cat of my exhaust and put a performance back box on and it sounds louder and has more accerlaration in it!
