I had one of these fitted to my G40, after a few enquiries about them i decided to have a batch made.
The are made from mild steel 3mm thick, zinc plated.
They have all the holes for mounting to the chassis, holes for the radiator and the holes for the intercooler on the front.
If you have ever had an original front bracket off you will see how weak it is, this bracket strengthens the front a great deal, help stopping the dreaded chassis flex.
All in all a great addition to any mk3 polo.
Fitment is a simple task, please note these brace bars can not be fitted with the standard plastic radiator cowling, the cowling will require modification.

I should be up for one of these by the end of the month.
cool no problem, if you want mate head over and i will fit it for ya, could do with grabbing some pictures for a guide
I could be doin with one of these! Was just about to start making one myself and then saw this lovely bit of wrk! Feel free to pm me payment details.Thanks.
I want one too - would this make my brace bar redundant?
as with most of the things i make, it is all just in my head on how it will help and nothing is specifically proven.
But i think it is a key part that should be reinforced, the front bumper bar holds it in place but nothing actually strengthens it and stops it flexing.
If you remove the existing bracket you can twist it with your hand, these hold the front end together so much better.
Personally i can see these making the brace bar redundant, but having both i can not see as being a bad thing.
If anyone wants one drop me a pm, paypal is good, and they are in stock all set to go.
Postage is same for multiple so if you know anyone else local to you it will save a bit
here are the only pictures i can find at the minute

i still have these for grabs
will grab one of ya next month exactly what i was looking for
little bump for these, still got some left, need the space in the unit so will take £25 each
Is that £25 posted?
nope
Iv been toying with the idea of using cds tubing and mounting an intercooler etc, but time seems hard come by nowadays.
I'll take one of these. Seems a good solution to a poor factory part. PM me your paypal details or bank details and i'll send you dollar.
I've just picked up one of these off Dan, proper decent quality and nice and chunky!
