Do they improve handling a lot?

TBH unless you're cranking out a shit load of power, and you're driving HARD, I wouldn't bother. Looks wise though, it does add something pretty to look at.

Yeah I Only Want One For The Look

Bare in mind that with a strut brace if anyone runs into the side of you you're more likely to bend your cars chassis resulting in a write off.

The strut brace will just transfer the damage to the other side of the car so what could have been a crash requiring a panel replacing might end up as £14-20k's worth of damage..

Bit Of An Exaggeration Li ?

The Car Was Only £15K To Buy lol

[WTF]

Good to see that Darkspeedy on the German forum finally got this installed he had been working with Wiechers since November to make it happen.

Hear is a pic of the rear bar also, thanks Darkspeedy, and yes it goes right through were the subwoofer is mounted.

Finance on a Dsport with all the extras could easily take you to 20-21k though..

@ Cyclone,
Yes I saw this also today on ds3-forum.de

Above pictures I received by Wiechers, but they are the same as Darkspeedy's topic

Think I'll buy the Carbon version for the front, but first replacing the standard airbox for the forge open filter.
Then I know for sure the Wiechers strutbrace will fit!

Will likely do the same Fabian. That strut bar looks like a much nicer piece than the OMP bar for a pug 207. Yes that does fit, have tried just didn't like the way it mounted so did not permanently fix it on the car.
BTW apparently Wiechers took a bunch of pics that they are sending back to inquiries and didn't tell or give Darkspeedy a copy of LOL.
