Okay, just got one of these and not had time to look at it really so was after a few tips as I've never fitted one before.

Can I leave the original strut brace on and fit the Spoon as well?
If so, do I undo the bolts then put the Spoon on or have to undo original then fit Spoon then re-fit original?

Thanks in advance,

Scott

You're meant to fit the brace while the front of the car is raised. and the wheels off the ground.

Going to redo mine cos of this :|

I'm confused :?

How the hell can you do it raised while the wheels are off the ground, surely when you undo the 3 bolts the strut will drop down. :?
