  • Who supplies strutbrace to who?

    Does this look familiar?


    This one is listed for a Seat Ibiza not a Polo but we all know the Seat item is the same as the Polo.

    It appears to be identical to the Forge item only this one is branded OMP. So who actually makes them?
    Maybe they both made by some other unknown workshop who supplies them to Forge and OMP.

    hey dude..

    if your looking for a Strut brace for your polo..

    assuming its a mk5 check that a 1J Chassis Audi S3 strut brace fits.. you can order it from the stealership if it does.. they are cheap as chips and are OEM Fit..

    one only assumes this seeing the mk5 Polo is just the mkIV golf..

    Heres one in a MKIV GTI

      Hey Babu, yes it does look identical to forge one. Im pretty sure The forge Units are made in house. So not sure about this one.

      Hitman i think if you look at the Polo strut brace in some of the other threads you will notice that it has to go straight up and over the airbox whereas the mk4 doesnt.



      This is GT3's car (hope you dont mind mate), he has a cda but you can see by the design what i mean. There is usually a big black box there.

      Edit - looking at there site its made from steel as well. Not saying this is a bad thing just interesting.

          Sorry to bring this thread back from the dead.

          I am after the s3 strut brace for my Mk4 golf GTI.

          What does hitmanr32 mean by 'Get one off a 1J chassis S3'.

          What year S3 is this? And does anyone know the part number by any chance?
