How thick do you need to be to think that it looks right?

Not only has he put it on upside down he bent the brackets to fit one bolt in.
That takes some effort!!!! Apparently it's a lot more effort to look up a picture on the internet.

He would have been better removing the air box and fitting an induction kit, then he could have got strut brace on, its doing nothing like that.

no he wouldn't and it'd fit the right way up as is if he'd have had the sense to do it properly.

and to anyone banging on about the car being a 'sport' so it not benefiting from a strut brace, think about it entering a bend at X speed (eg 70mph), it's still X speed regardless of whether or not it has 118bhp or 300 / 400 etc

Like you are going to feel the benefit over budget tyres, worn bushes and knackered shocks... could you actually feel the difference on a well sorted car? Completely useless on a 100k road car, all the wear and tear would negate this even if it was bolted in right.

The bar is the right way round. Hes swapped the ends over and bent them for some reason. My guess is that the holes diddnt line up propperly the right way up.
