$155 + shipping

Installed once into my car; the (Cooper) bonnet wouldn't close over it, so it's never been used.

Pictures here.

 

*bump*

 

Price drop: $160 + shipping.

Come on, folks. This thing is gorgeous, and my wife is 9 months pregnant. It has to go.

 

Is it my breath? Is that what's driving everyone away?

 

hmm, i wuz wonderin' wat that smell wuz

 

You still have this? Why did it not fit?

 

The Cooper bonnet is more substantially different than apperances reveal. The S bonnet is flatter toward the nose, to accomodate the IC; the Cooper bonnet dives just a little bit more from the back to the front, and that slight difference causes the curve of the bonnet to intersect the path of this strut brace.

Removing the batting from the under-side of the bonnet would reduce the risk of contact.

 

Is your price still $160?

 

If you believe that's unreasonable, I'm open to suggestions.

Remember, though, this thing is un-used. Not "lightly-used", "gently loved", or any other such mumbo-jumbo. I put it on, the bonnet wouldn't close, and I took it off. I tried 3 test-fittings before I gave up, which is why the bolt recesses show scoring.

 

if i won 170 bucks today ill take it!

 

Are you willing to trade? I got an aero grille set. Bottom portion new, the top is in good shape.

 

Thanks, but I'm keeping a (principally) stock look for my Cooper, and that means lots of chrome.

If, however, you have an un-used B&M shifter...

 

What else do you need? I do not have an extra B&M SS. I have the stock rear stabilizer bar.

 

The only thing I need right now is cash.

 

ahamos,
If you would still like to have this on your car; try re-installing it without the 1/8" spacer between the shock tower plates and the brace. Then use aprox thickness of washers under the screw heads to compensate for the length of the screws and tighten down. This should make enough clearence to close the hood. I've seen this work before on S cars. Good luck.

 

I tried that immediately after the initial fitment. No dice. Great suggestion, though, and one that's easy to miss.

 

Down to $155. What's it gonna take to send you home today with this fine, quality product?

 

WHAT? PRICE DROP?..... it just went up $5 from original post

 

It started at $170, it's now $155.

 

someone buy this thing!

 

Bump for my buddy

 

Thanks, guys. I have to admit, this thing hasn't been at the front of my mind for the past few days: Alastair was born on Sunday morning at 7:50, and we just came home from the hospital yesterday.

 

Congrats!!!

Wish you all the best and for at least the next few months some sleep!

 

Congrats!

 

in lieu of presents, please buy this strut bar.

Congratulations!
