This is the strut brace before i tried fitting it
Image

Trying to fit it, had to unscrew it just to get the nearside on to see what line it takes, the offside end wont even sit on the strut top as the bar hits the brake reservoir, wont go under or over
Image

The company i bought it from have asked for a picture of it being fitted so hopefully i'll hear back from them tomorrow.
Done a quick google search and im starting to wonder if its been designed to fit the US spec fiesta cos it looks like the brake reservoir is fixed to the nearside strut top on them, which means the strut brace could just be bolted on underneath!?!

You could be right mate, looked on OMP website and the one ive got (which was listed as fiesta mk7 zetec s) says 1.2 16v series 6. Sent another email to find out why they listed it like that and hopefully get my money back!

Just a little update, sent the strut brace back for a refund even though the company I got it from tell me its definitely for a mk7 but didnt reply when I asked how to fit it!! If you're thinking of buying anything from a company called strutbracer you should double check on fitment first as they cleary dont know what they're doing!
