   all saxo strut braces fit every model saxo
   seems a good price too.
   
   hint: if you fit it and you can't shut the bonnet, remove the bonnet stay and hey presto(keep it in your boot for the times you need to hold the bonnet open)

   Is that a common problem not being able to shut the bonnet after,
   
   Also is there a difference in the Sparco, Raceland ones in terms of handling differences etc?

   yup it seems to be a common question regarding strut brace fitting. not sure about the handling difference of the two as i have no experience of either brace, but i very much doubt there will be any significant difference if in fact any

    hahaha i guarantee it will fit oh another thing to be careful of is tightening the bolts too tight, they can and will snap. just dont overdo them

    are you sure that all strut braces fit all saxos as my mate bought one off a vtr for his vts and it wouldnt fit as the vts intake was in the way

    I bought one mate off that bloke on ebay the other week fitted it the other night, Some of the bolts dont fit back down proper had to get new ones without washers on to fit and some of the paint was chipped off on the ends other than that its good.
