Mini Cooper Front Strut Brace Carbon Fiber R50 R52 R53

This 100% carbon fiber strut brace is INCREDIBLE! Not just a piece of cosmetic jewelry, this strut tower brace is a precision crafted structural component from one of the most respected composite manufacturers in the industry. Extremely lightweight and twice as strong as aluminum. The show-quality autoclave process carbon center bar is ALL CARBON FIBER -- not carbon fiber covered metal -- and mounts to the car with lightweight CNC machined aluminum towerplates. Its hinge-free design ensures maximum reduction in chassis flex. Comes complete with a re-moulded cover for the ECU to allow proper clearance.

The Carbon Fiber Strut Brace improves handling by reducing that jittery feeling when traveling around a bumpy corner. It ties together the two front upper strut towers, increasing front chassis rigidity for quicker steering response and better handling. This results in a much more stable feel during cornering and over road imperfections.

This all-carbon fiber bar is not just another pretty face: although it looks most impressive under the bonnet, it also outperforms most lighter-weight alloy bars found on the market today.

Fits:

2002-2006 R53 MINI Cooper S Hatchback
2005-2008 R52 MINI Cooper S Convertible

Note: The MINI Cooper and Cooper S has very little clearance under the hood. It is perfectly normal for the strut brace to contact the insulation under the hood. In some cases, it may be required to remove some insulation material to increase the clearance.

This Carbon Fiber Strut brace WILL FIT the non-S R50 MINI Cooper, IF the battery cover is removed or modified.
