did you not manage to get the rear arches from Chris mate? I got a reply from him after a few weeks because my original email had gone to his junk folder. Emailed him back for price and delivery and haven't heard back again, that was a week or so ago. :-( He took a while to get back to me mate, I t...

Was going to say, i'm so glad that you got a replica of the original plate. so so so much better than the new font plates you get in Halfords, they look utterly wrong

In keeping with my OEM drive, I coughed up £20 to get this (to replace the Timpsons special that came with the car, which looked l...

Lovely stuff
