I've been looking into putting a strut brace on my T5, Does any one know of a good supplier, would like a chrome one if poss. Also was wondering, I have an ABS unit that looks like it might get in the way top right of engine bay behind the air filter, not seen on some other t5's any ideas?

Hi, Bison; I'd go for the Volvo one: at least you know it'll fit. They're not much more than the aftermarket ones (about £80). It helps control torque steer a lot. It comes in a satin finish alloy. Maybe you could get it chromed by a plating firm.
Cheers, Chris.
Yeah go with the volvo one, good value and will fit, I know OMP do them in a red finish but you have to move things about to make them fit.
Should cost too much to get one chromed.
Isn't the volvo version aluminium?Maybe you could get it polished,Don't think you can chrome ally.
your right Gary, the Volvo one is brushed Alu while the OMP one is steel
so where is the best place to buy the volvo one?
Bison
any main dealer will be able to get it in for you (had mine in stock when i went) part number is 9204180-5 described as a spring strut

Cant think of part number, but i will get it off my car later if noone else posts it.

Have a look at this, email the guy and ask him if he has a buy it now price if he has another one, I got my tail pipe from him £40.00 including P+P. for my T5 genuine volvo part.

If I had the cash I would get one now, but it will have to wait.

Its already more than the dealers, think they about £67 inc.
Picked one up from my local main dealer last month [12 hour order] £69 incl vat.
If you are coming to the RR day - Hamish has them on the shelf.
