Can you get them? (S3 brace)

There are no holes in the struts for fitting?

Do you need to drill out your own holes to fit one :eek:

Yes it fits,you just need to drill the holes.

The dealer fitted mine as I was too scared to drill the holes:

Pimp My Skoda!

How much did they charge?

I don't want to drill through a top mount

I thought that strut braces were normally bolted to the strut mounts (the 3 bolts round the edge ot the top of the tower, not the one in the middle).

The Octy vRS does not have three bolts around the top of each tower, hence the reason you have to drill them through the top of the tower to fit the strut brace.

Fabias have the three visible bolts, but Octys do not.
