M7 strut tower brace and CAI

I have a Mini Madness cai on my 2006 MCS. Will the M7 strut tower
brace clear the cai. Thanks for the feedback.

You'll have to notch it. Since the CAI seals against the hood there's no Strut brace that doesn't involve doing this.

i have the M7 STB and a Helix CAI, all i had to notch was the rubber seal on the CAI. no cutting of the actual heat shield was necessary.

You have to get a low profile battery cover from www.promini.com for strut bars to work on the regular non S Cooper.

Same as everyone, I had to notch the rubber seal. I have the MMCAI and the M7STB.

The M7 STB clears the MC battery without mods.
