Hi, i have been offered a strut brace for my Nova 1.2i that goes straight across, but i don't think this will fit because of the air box. :? Can anyone tell me what type i need for a Nova 1.2i, or has anyone got any pics?

Cheers Jono.

you'll need one that goes round the airbox

one from a 1.3 or 1.4 sr will fit

I know this is probably a really daft question - but how is the strut fitted? :?

bolted to the top of the suspenson struts, really easy to fit, 5 min job if that
