F32 vs F33 chassis bracing

It appears the F33 has the same radiator support as the F82 and the addition of strut tower bracing to the radiator support, unlike on the F32. You can see additional mounting points on the strut tower on Verts.

I guess it's to bring back a bit of the rigidity lost by simply being a convertible...
