Yeah I know it may not do much but it's shineeeeey ....
Anyways bought one yesterday from Scooby Live for my 06/07 Hawkeye STI but although the holes line up there is a pipe getting in the way.
Can anyone who's fitted one before let me know what I should be doing.
(tried searching but it's not working for me for some reason)
Cheers

I had the same problem. Seems common for the hawkeyes. I also decided to take mine back and not fit it. That AC pipe is not meant to be moved IMHO. Fixed pipe shape and attached to the bulkhead.
If you do fit it, get someone who knows what they are doing to help or it could be very costly!

Fitted my Perrin top brace on Friday and yes you do need to bend the A/C pipe on a Hawkeye not by a great deal. I had to take the bracket of completly that hold's it to the bulkhead and then carefully persuade it into the position I wanted and l have just left the bracket off.
Mikkel missed you at the shootout but nice motor mate

No mate to early for me to be in convoy's with having the two little one's.
Ended up on the far side of the airfield
Will hopefully be camping out at the NBO in a few week's time with the family and will be in the GB270 with the wife in her XC90 as my back up vehicle
If your there mate feel free to have a nose

Have you got it on yet? I couldn't wait the brace went straight on when I got home in the pouring rain. Don't know if it has made much difference, I'll see on a B road blast this weekend. Even if it doesn't still looks nice and shiney.

Looked at it again last night and it'll go but it's a very tight fit and requires a leap of faith as far as bending the pipe goes.
Hopefully will fit it tonight,,.. .. .. maybe
