Good lad. I'm guessing you'll be doing a build thread to show us how it's done

There will be a build thread but it will be a painfully slow one as time is not something I have a great deal of this year

Yeah, but for 7.5" calipers and also just the metal cover. I suppose I'll have to buy a new kit... sigh.

Sorry GRK5006 for 7.5 and I don't know anyone who sells just the metal press in piece.

I had similar not too long ago with some Pistons, most annoying thing is though he said he had them all packaged up ready, but didn't have time before he went away to post them! What the hell! Lol

MrBounce

I have a couple of large items that are clearly marked as collection only and please do not ask me to send as I do not have the packaging. One idiot bought an item then asked me to pack it up for his carrier & just now another one asked me if I would post to Cornwall.
People are just stupid.

I'm not a fan of them either, (especially drilling a new valance to fit one) so I designed mine to be mounted on the subframe so they are out of the way. Cheers, Ian

phillrulz

unfortunately i have a center exhaust... so without more holes it wont fit :( and yes i have a new rear valance
Jul 31 2017 06:36 PM

phillrulz

hmmm just found on the government site it has to be within 1m of the ground ( for my mini that is the bottom heated rear windscreen element so it would be legal. Also if your car is older than 1980.... the only requirements is its over 100m from a brake light, must be red and cant be activated by a brake pedal... Think ill talk to my MOT garage. http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1989/1796/schedule/11/made
