   Is it worth geting a strut brace on a 1.1 saxo. Or would it be pointless? would it do anything thats noticeably different? thanks in advance for the feedback

   I noticed a difference with lower but upper not so much.
   
   Still looks good though.

   this would get in the way and stop the bonet from closing though i think. when i got my saxo it had a strut brace on but the bonet didnt close properly so it took it off, and all the paint had rusted off and looked gammy as fuck!
