M7 Front Strut Brace & JCW Air Intake

Looking for some info if the M7 front strut brace will clear the the JCW Air Intake. This is on a cabrio, although I don't think that would make any difference.

Thanks,

Dave

I have a JCW and tried the M7 Strut Bar. Although it cleared the airbox the hood insulation would have required modification. I was not comfortable with doing that so I went with a different bar.

just spray a little water on the insulation and let it set in with the strut bar.

at leats that is what i did. no worries here, the bar just looks very well made for me.

Agreed. I looked at the others and I wanted a bar that combined strut tower cap reinforcement with the bar and M7 does. The JCW for example did not and was $100 more.
