depends what inlet your using, if your using a x20xev inlet then i think you can fit the brace, but if you use the XE power inlet thingy the cast one, then a bit of modification with have to happen to the brace to make it fit around it.

Not sure what brand that is but looks like a straighter design will be better than one that bends around the header tank depending how you are for height near the bulkhead.

I had a E-tech type one on my old one. It fitted every corsa it went on.

i'd say get an OMP steel brace, i had one of those alluminium ones before and i think that just twisted instead of actually making the front end stiffer, but when i put the OMP one on it certainly made a difference i think it was mainly due to it being not only steel but a better make in general.
