Strut bar that accomodates UniChip?

I'm looking to put a strut bar on my Cooper, but I have a UniChip box that sits on top of the ECU box. Is there a strut bar that has clearance to go over both the battery box and the additional heigth of a UniChip?

Thanks,

about 1 inch I believe the promini one does but you need a low profile battery box cover

I have the cover and soon getting the bar I also have the chip I will let you know if I go this way

The UniChip unit rests right up against the left strut tower and stick up almost 1/4" above the top of the strut tower.

There are a number of bars that will not dimple our hoods. I can't think of them right now, but I think the OMP one works just fine.
