GP2 Strut Brace On A Cooper S

Hi,

Does anyone know how much modification is required for a GP2 strut brace to fit onto a 2012 R56 Cooper S?

Any Photos?

This is what’s needed:

Since the GP2 runs much more front camber, you’ll need to slot your front mounting holes to match the GP2. Otherwise, the strut bar won’t fit over the strut mounting studs.
