That link shows how to fit on to a Yaris but it'll be a similar sort of process to do to your 'Beeza.

you need to drill holes in your strut top mounts in order for it to fit.

Place the struct brace where it fits, mark the holes, remove the brace, drill the holes, put brace back, use supplied screws to screw the brace down.

should then fit in something like mine:

Ahh great, cheers mate. Was a little pissed at strut bracer as they sent naff all in the way of fitments, just the brace so need to go get some bolts! What size drill piece would you recomend mate and is it an easy job to do? Cheers

take the brace to a hardware store and get the best fitting screws you can for the existing holes in the brace, then drill them slightly smaller in the strut tops....

usually, there about the same size as vauxhall wing bolts
