Default 1 off group buy opportunity! Rover 75 mg zt strut braces!

Anyone interested in a strut brace for the Rover 75 or MG ZT? This is a rare opportunity to get hold of one as hardly anyone makes these.

I have the chance to get hold these for £90 each + UK postage which would be £12.50 with parcel force (or you can collect from me in Essex) however we need a minimum order of 10 to achieve this price. This will probably just be a one time thing as it can be quite difficult to gather enough interest to do a batch order multiple times.

The strut braces have a stainless finish and the brackets are painted in blue as standard. The brackets can easily be repainted in another colour to colour code with your car.

The strut brace fitted to Geraint's blue ZTT-500 in the pics below is the actual strut brace I'm offering. The strut brace in the following pics fitted to my Typhoon ZT is a different strut brace which I purchased in a limited run last year, but I've included the pics to give you an idea of how a strut brace looks when fitted.

A few points to note regarding the strut brace:
- on the 75/ZT, the strut brace doesn't really do much to improve the handling of the car as the frame of the car a the front is so structurally solid. Personally on my ZT I can't really say I found a noticeable difference in handling. I fitted mine just for cosmetic reasons just to jazz up the engine bay as the strut brace does look fantastic and it's something unusual.
- As you can probably tell looking at your own engine bay, there isn't much space between the top of the engine and the bonnet, therefore in order to get the strut brace to fit comfortably, you will need to remove the sound proofing from the underside of the bonnet, otherwise the strut brace pushes up on the bonnet.
- On the diesel models like on mine, the strut brace touches the engine cover so I found it transfers a little bit of engine vibration to the car. Not massively bad but is a little noticeable. These fit the v6, 1.8 and v8 fine.

If you're 100% interested in one let me know, once I have the minimum of 10 orders I can start accepting payments. I will have 1 for my recently acquired ZT-T so only need a minimum of 9 more orders.

Once the order has been placed with the supplier they will take around 30 days to be delivered to me before I can send them out to everyone.

Any questions let me know.

Again PRICE IS £90 + £12.50 DELIVERY OR YOU CAN COLLECT FROM ME IN ESSEX.

No point selling something and not pointing out the little things like this

I love the strut brace on mine, does help make the engine bay look much better for shows

Last chance for anyone else who'd like one of these, will be placing the order with the supplier on Monday.
