Mini R53: "Mk I" Mini Cooper S 2002 - 2008
Description:

I am looking for the strut tower brace pieces by M7 Speed to fit a Gen1 Mini S - like the circled items in the below picture.
WTB: M7 Speed R53/R52S strut brace-7dazsbn.jpg

Maybe you bought a whole kit from someone, but were unable to use the brace because of underhood clearance issues on non-S hoods?  If it's just lying around, I'd like to add it to my daughter's car.  Shipping would be to SE MI, USA - zip 48843.

Thanks!

I've got the whole kit on a JCW Checkmate I just got....I'm not 100% sure I'm going to remove it just yet, but if I did, I'd probably sell all 5 pieces together... sounds like your daughter's car already has the tower plates. Either way, I will let you know if I do pull it off. I'm planning to put the car back to stock.

I would be interested in all 5 if you do end up selling

Sorry you haven't had any luck finding one! I still haven't decided if I'm going to use mine or not... I may be getting a second R53, so the chances of me keeping it would likely increase.... I'm keeping an eye out for you though!

The whole thing is on sale at the M7 website and you could just sell the strut tower guards to offset the cost.

Yeah, that would be an option. It's not killing me that it isn't on there at the moment, I just want to see if I come across the connecting brace at some point (from a take-off or salvage, etc.).
