Default Suspension brace

Connects the suspension turrets to stiffen the body, or so I'm told.

Hi Canis,

I'd have this - I would need to ask if it could be posted, and I'll cover the additional cost of postage. (Even if you can measure it up I can obtain quotes).

Thanks,

Joseph

Okay so after queueing at the post office for about an hour, it turns out ParcelFarce won't carry car parts. At this point I realised I should've just lied, but there it is.

So I'm investigating other carriers. The one google led me to offered shipping to all parts of the UK, "We won't be beaten on price!" they claimed. The prices were abusrd, cheapest was £880. I'd drive it myself for less.

At this point i'm starting to wonder how anybody sells anything online at all. There must be a way of shipping things for sensible money, surely?

Still working on it.

Go to a different P.O. and tell them it is part of a bed.

This might well be a long shot, but did you manage to sell the brace? If not I'd be VERY interested in buying it!

I bought it off Canis for my V40 at the time, sorry!

No problem, I thought it would be a long shot! Did you notice a difference after installing it?

Not as yet, but only as I'm still awaiting getting the car back on the road again and haven't fitted it yet!
