Default Crash protection bar and brace
Morning guys,
Been having a think and tad research about the u bend brace on new age, been thinking of removing it and fitting the whiteline brace across the wishbones,
Now reading up the spec c or s202/3 they all were removed from stock
What's your thoughts on this? It is a heavy thing also the under tray still fits on

They wasn't removed, never added. Its a UK thing to pass the safety tests.
