    Strut Brace

    Just fitted one today nice easy job about 10-15 mins maximum , hardest bit opening the bubble wrap
    Well worth it as it not only improves the handling it looks good too.

    Quite amazed by the amount of heat transferd to it .

    Anyway rush hours cleared need to go and find some roundabouts to boot it round and off!


    Next Jobs titans in my cellar need refurb and tyres or new brakes, Il keep you posted.

    I gave up on the first guy doing my Volans - but I can recommend someone closer to me. They are only 1.2 finished and considering the state they were in - they are gonna look immaculate. £150 for 4 (including reshaping the rims - which were f*cked)

    Brakes - well if you want any help you can always count on me - be happy to do the lot.
