Got the braces on both my cars now, excellent work Steve.

When fitting, note to all: Loosen the M3 screws into the gearbox sides, and tighten them once the brace is on tightly... just makes things easier and line up with less chance of stress if anything is going to be stressed at all.

The other thing, the bumper mod is easy, just use a cutting disk on a dremel and take out a section immediately above the holes in the bumper exactly like Steve has done. I did mine really close to the screw holes as it needs to be, if not close enough then the bumper holes don't line up to the gearbox holes.

Oh, and I did try my first bumper mod with the small sanding drum, and it doesn't work. I shouldn't be so lazy and found the cutting disk. By using the drum I also reduced the depth of the screw holes in the bumper a little and although it'll be okay, its not as good as using a cutting disk and leaving the depth of the holes alone.

Good work Steve, fitting time about 5minutes once I stopped being lazy and used the cutting disk on the dremel.
