    To be honest, I've only had the T5 a few weeks and I never really pushed it before I put the brace on, but I will post my reaction tomorrow night.

    Guess this is something i should look to add to my 1998 T5 i've had since July. Thing is i'm not that mechanicaly savvi, so for all i know it's already got one, it's had an unbelievable 9 owners before me and an even more unbelievable 6 number plates in its 13 year life, so someone may have already fitted one at some point. Anyone got a before and after pic so i can see what it looks like and where it should be?

    Cheers
