If you really think these are £100 then you need your head checked.

I read what you had typed but seeing as there were more than 10 available it indicates they were in stock at the time. They are now back down to £2.99.

been a bit slack on here lately, been busy !

heres some catch up:

abs/dsc warning lights came on so I replaced all 4 abs sensors, after doing all this the problem was still there, turns out it was a faulty wire so i soldered it and all works fine again

old next to new:

and also swapped some corroded bolts as 1 rounded off and took an hour to get out

my friend works at breakland tyres (down near the train tracks) and on Sat mornings his boss isnt there so i always use him for my wheels/tyres/exhaust work and he lets me squeeze in when not busy, i dont think he will let people use it as such but more a favour as i was there at the time type thing

finally got around to fitting the Rpi scoop, unlike most I had to replace the whole bracket as mine was damaged so it was a bigger job than expected!

before:

front end off:

broken scoop:

Everything off to access the bracket:

new bracket and scoop fitted:

new scoop behind grill:

and heres what was removed:

Finally got the wheels fitted (special thanks to machine monkey for letting me have some old tyres to check the wheels would fit before I spent big money on new)

Gave the car a good clean and even polished my tips!!! I'm crap with photos and angles etc so I just went snap happy and here's a select few! Cars not finished yet but I'm very, VERY happy with it!

Enjoy:

(REALLY need to update my sig photo haha)
