Don't know if this is in the right place...please move if need be!

How much would you pay for a used (1 month old) JCW Strutbrace?

Complete with all the bits, unmarked, as new!

I have the option on one, but don't know what to offer!

Thanks,

Jon

How much are they new?

Is it unused, or unmarked? That would make a difference to me (not that it should I guess?!).

AprilWhine · Mar 9th, 2006, 09:10 AM

Have you checked completed auctions on Ebay? That is generally a fair price.

It is used (i.e. it has been fitted to a vehicle), but it's one month old and unmarked.

Doesn't it?

mad brummie · Mar 9th, 2006, 09:24 AM

There's one in this thread with it fitted.....

mad brummie · Mar 9th, 2006, 09:32 AM

I stand corrected. I was going on what JCG told me

minicabrio · Mar 9th, 2006, 09:36 AM

One call to JCG just confirmed it

Strut brace is only advertised for the Cooper S, and Cooper S Convertible.

It won't fit pre-facelift Coopers due to the battery housing, but no problem at all on the facelift Coopers!

AidenL · Mar 9th, 2006, 09:45 AM

£165 new list price, discount can be had from friendly dealers.....

Maybe £100.00 ?

great news

and it sounds like you got a good deal

minicabrio · Mar 9th, 2006, 09:55 AM

Got it for £75....

AidenL · Mar 9th, 2006, 09:57 AM

Bargain

wibbly · Mar 9th, 2006, 09:57 AM

IIRC they are one time use nuts and they are quite expensive to buy second time around

Thanks for the advice, I did call JCG to ask how it fitted and they advised me of all the parts required. Very helpful chaps!

JpMcC · Mar 9th, 2006, 10:34 AM

As far as I know Lavs also has the strutbrace fitted on his Cooper and his is a pre facelift model

bargain, new I would have said price would be about £140, so well done mate

if your battery cover gets in the way you can get one aftermarket that allows you to fit this to a cooper

Olly. · Mar 9th, 2006, 11:58 AM

I'd be interest to know how you get on fitting this? I always thought you have to remove the battery cover to get it to fit a Cooper (something I wasn't that keen on)

This thread could have cost me money

I will report back with fitting details

I'll probably pick it up at the weekend, give it a polish with some autosol, clean the engine bay and put it on!
