I have been told on numerous occasions that the weichers one does not fit if your car has air con.

I've read something about having to move A/C pipes to make it fit, TBH if my A/C cant be regassed I'll probably remove it at some point. I'd prefer a steel brace as I think the ali ones may flex with engine heat, the Weichers brace is around £90 too.

I've got one on my turbo, I just had to unbolt the clip on the inner wing, lift them up, fit the brace and bolt the clip back down. It was a bit fiddly but not that difficult.
