didnt see the point of taking the panels off tbh,means they would have been on...off....on....off to check the clearance etc,2" band ftw :win:

LOL yeah band ftw.

Very neat tidy job. Would you notice a big difference in handle with this fitted?

prob minimal gains...its more the bling factor!!!!!

always wanted some sort of x bar so decided on the cheaper version as it
suited my budget.
 
Looks good mate,

i have a x-brace too and to be honest i never felt that much difference. Only time i feel the car handle better is when i put the cage in:D

X-brace :nice:
rear seats:nono:
 
Oh yeah see the way your wiper is remove and you have the hole plugged. I was hoping to do the same but don't know where to find a rubber stopper like yours? Any help?
 
Nice/clean job youve done with the cutting/edging.

Looks good
 
Nice job! :bow:

I thought this bars where discontinued!
 
see that stuff you have put around the edge of where you cut the hole . what is that called as i hate going in somewhere asking for something i dont know what its called lol .

any help ??
