How much do front strut tower braces get in the way when you need to work in the engine bay on a Countryman?

 

Hi there,

I have not had to ever remove the brace for any work.... and it doesn't get in the way for general checks and air filter maintenance.
The brace shown is the Ultra Racing strut tower, I've got 3 other Ultra Racing braces that made stiffness differences.

 

Thanks. That's a good-looking engine bay.
