For £200. £90 cheaper than Euro with the 25% off!

Saying that I get very good discount at GSF

Whats the difference with the gt beam? Is it that plate on either corner?

It just has an ARB, basically a piece of tube welded across to stiffen it up, I wanted to resto a beam so may aswel upgrade :)

I dont see no extra tube?

It's tucked up inside the 90degree bend bit mate. You cant in that pic :)

Oh rightt. I want to refurb a rear beam for mine just not sure if gt beam is worth it since i have a standard one on the silver coupe doing nothing

I think the holes are there in a standard be, buy a length of tube and weld it in?
