   saxos / 106's dont have any rear struts
   i have seen the sort of rear brace your going on about but all it is is a rear brace between the 2 sides of the boot it wont do anything

   As said really, theres no need for a rear strut brace on a saxo because of the rear beam set up they wont be "bracing any struts" for a start.

   It's not even for show. If i saw that i'd piss my self at the idiot that bought it.
   
   the only time a rear brace would help is if your rear beam is flexing, and i'd rather sort out that then buy a brace lol...

   And don't even think about using it as place to locate the rear point of a harness!!!!
   
   Would rip the inner arches apart in the event of a crash

   It wouldn't be completely useless it would still stiffen up the body of the car
