£72 quid later (local factor)... (£52 on ebay inc del'), at least they're easy to get to/swap, hopefully some less to worry abart, alternator looks recent, so fingers crossed on that..

Couple of mods done recently, Gaz struts fitted all around, side skirts and rear spoiler.
Oh and 20mm spacers fitted all round to fill arches more :-)

Hi Graham, the rear spoiler looks very nice, is it a available model or did you make it your self?
