Probably one for Monk Fish to answer, however, does anyone know if this version will fit an E3 GTS??

Can't see why not Ian as the E1 has same engine layout and turrets. If you have to remove struts then your MRC shouldn't be an extra issue but MF will be able to confirm

I left mine on the VXR8 when I sold it, it may be a different fitting, is your bonnet held up with one or two gas struts ?

This was my VXR8 strut brace, on my gen F I have noticed the bonnet gas strut lifts from the top of the strut area but on the VXR8 it uses two struts that are mounted further back on the chassis

They do look very nice and actually look like they do something

Exactly the reason I had one fitted to my Blue VXR8 and may fit one to the Bathurst S. Looks much better

Bonnet is on 2 struts Snowy but I can't remember where they mount and as I don't have the car at the mo, I can't check.

But agreed, they do look good smile

I would say if you have the two mount gas strut, they will fit ok as the later models the gas strut fixes to the top of the suspension strut
