Mini One with OMP Strut brace?

Hi,

does anyone on here have an OMP Strut Brace fitted to the front of their Mini One? I'm considering fitting one but was wondering about people's opinions and thoughts on this item.... also, do you have any pictures of a fitted OMP SB?

cheers...

i'd agree et_1975 - i bought and installed the OMP SB a few days ago and went 'test driving' down some long, twisty country roads and i've noticed the difference already!! i'm well impressed

btw cheeky, am well luvin ur MO after seeing it in GoMini - nice! Where's best (and cheapest ) place to get a MO chipped? I'm looking to get mine done but i cant decide upon superchip or the OneClick mainly due to price... Also, i'm in SW Scot and most of the chippin places are far far away down south - again hence the one-click (being done via post..)

Smile cheers pal!

u've not got ur one chipped yet!!! u missing out! got mine chipped down at minisport which is a superchip dealer, the one-click im not to sure about because it came out after i had mine already chipped but i think both methods are more or less the same in bhp wise.
once u have urs chipped its like driving away in a different car!! since having the chip and manifold fitted ive been through 3 sets of tyres and changed my brake pads twice plus up-graded my discs in the mean time!! hehe! just loads more fun coming ur way! enjoy!

Strut brace is a must! also a lowering the suspension too... but most people that have got the strut brace have noticed an improvement in corning as the chassis is alot less flexable. Have fun!

p.s. a every mini one needs to be chipped! your so missing out if its not!
