If you can't find a trade, we could send you a strip of transparent red vinyl that you can apply to the brake light to make it look like a non-S third brake.

Grendl, only one thing I can say...

ZOIKES!

In a previously life I recall a Suzuki-designed and built 2.0L 32v DOHC normally aspirated 220HP V8 in a then-new Chevy Cavalier Z24. Great sleeper. I cannot help but wonder if it could be squeezed into an R55/56/57 motor compartment.

Nice logo!

Thanks 2953. Not quite the same thing, but I see VW Things with watercooled engines under the bonnet fairly regularly. Kinda defeats the purpose dontcha think ?

Awesome Doglet. Do you notice a difference with the brace? Can I ask what lights and installation method you used? Those are exactly what I want, but I am loath to cut up my grill.

Diesel, noob That's the D engine, and you'll notice the different hood and front bumper as well.

Yes the brace does make a difference. Virtually cuts out T/steer ( yes you do get it with a deisel (this one has 135bhp and 316nm ) Another noticeable thing is the reduction in crashing and jarring through the steering wheel on rough roads.

The lights were fairly straight forward once I figured out how to mount the extra two in the middle. The outer two were fitted by the dealer before I got the car.
Some pics on how it was done. The wiring was just a replica of the one fitted by dealer.

Here is my MB Factory JCW. 1st two pictures are from the pick up day. Last one is just after I got my custom vinyl roof design. Nothing else much has changed except the orange indicators have now gone. Future mods are strut brace and lowering. Also booked in for some detailing in a couple of weeks to get rid of some of the holgrams and swirls and give me a good base to maintain the finish.

Thanks for looking!
