Hi, have just bought an 04 facelift Corolla Tsport privately.
The only minor problem is that the Tsport front upper strut brace is missing (have already asked the previous owner). I was wondering does anyone know the Toyota part no? OR if anyone has one to sell second hand? |

I don't think you're allowed to sell items on here unless you are a supporter or if you buy a temporary traders license.

Just an update....
Phoned Toyota and got a quote for the standard parts (from the part no's thread)....  Here are my options: 1. TSport original strut brace from Toyota (all parts) = £465 2. Compressor/TTE solid strut brace from Toyota = £220 3. TRD strut brace from Fensport = £189 4. possibly a whiteline brace = £95 any recommendations as to what make to get? also if anyone has their standard brace to sell, please pm me, thanks. |

socket set from garage = free
jeans with pockets to hold socket = free test drive of a Facelift T sport = free ... the compressor TTE seem good value compared to the dampered strut brace, i'd be tempted by that if 3 + 4 still need postage costs to be taken into account |

Hi mate, go for the compressor one. Very nice strut brace..would get one myself if I didn't have the TS one already.
And 3 + 4 still need vat and postage added on. Bought the whiteline one for my previous car and it ended up being £140 in total
