It's all in bits
I'm pretty sure I used to have a strut brace between the top mounts in the engine bay, but no longer do (most likely since I made the mistake of letting a well known insurance company take my car Direct to their preferred repairer after it was hit when parked). The holes for it have been filled and spayed over so at first glance you would not know they were there but can easily been be seen and felt when trying to find them. I have had confirmation from an Audi dealer that it should be present on my 99 S3 but have yet to get a price from Audi.
Basically though I was also wondering if it is worth using an after market one if it does fit, for example OMP, Sparco or a one of the no name adjustable ones, since I can see lots of A3 ones on ebay and at various online stores. However none identify themselves as being for an S3, so am I right in thinking they should fit no problem? Also what do I need to fit it (bolts, washers, etc) as I obviously have no fittings on my car any more.
Cheers
