Is it like that one thats the E-Tech one and got to say I dont have any problems.

Daft question but did you put it together the right way, as I do think if its completely took apart if can be put back backwards if you understand what I mean
 
My E-tech brace pushed up my bonnet by about 1-2 mm on one side and i think Andy coles had the same problem.

To cure his problem he filed down the bracket which pulled the brace down and hence the bonnet.

To cure my problem i fitted a carbon bonnet :lol: 8) :wink:
 
hi tarticus no mate my brace is different to urs........ and yes mark my bonnet was also pushed up,yes more on the left hand side, today i cut of about 1/4" and it is better,it has got the bonnet down i bit but it still touches,i think i can live with it lol, yes i have a carbon bonnet in mind bu t this guy hasn;t got back to me yet,,thnx for ur advices guys

My carbon bonnet is lifted very slightly as well by my E-Tech. Not enough for the casual observer to notice, they never get past the quality weave in my Buddy Club bonneeet mmmmmmmm carbon.

Oh I will ad that if you have at some point taken a fairly firm jolt on the passanger side wheel, from iether a pothole or hitting a kerb ( :oops: :oops: :oops: ) then it can slightly push up the suspension tower up a bit. This is why my alignment is out a tad.
