Brace you mean.

Its normal to bolt bars from the front of the subframe through to the inner wing.

Mine is not braces. I however do have solid subframe and engine mounts.

Id recommend bracing onto the shock mount and no where else.

if you fit a removable front the car should use brace bars these can be bought from places like minispares, the car should not pass an mot without them
