No room for strut bar?

After looking at the engine bay of my benz, i came to a conclusion that the locations to bolt in a strut bar are obscured by some other things. Is it still possible to put one in? I mainly need one to reduce chasis flex durung sharp cornering.

It is possible, in fact we are waiting for a quote for a group buy.

Does a strut bar actually improve the front end's rigidity in a W202? I would have thought that the front firewall surround would have made a strut bar irrelevant?

Thanks!
