Buy a pair? They're only 12 quid from minisport. Then you have a spare when one breaks

Yeah really have got to get out and do some work on Cheackmate, found out that that front panel has holes for mk1/2 indicators so might be the wrong front :/ but i'l modifie it to fit bob on anywho.

 

Yeah there the ones which are largly available but the ones i need arn't rubber sandwiched between two pieces of steel, there solid as i,ve got a solid mounting kit on the car so i'l be buying these in due course: http://www.ebay.co.u...=item2c6d73c2f7

Why you using solid mounts on a daily i presume?

[rally515]

Why you using solid mounts on a daily i presume?

 

I got some cheap solid mounts for the towers and toebord and thought its the way they were originaly designed and gives better "feel" to the car so why not ?

 

No idea if its being sold or kept yet, depends on a few things, i'd personaly like to keep it but it'l probably be my mums daily run around so she'l want something a little comfyer and more relaxed to drive, she's always drove jags and volvos or a 4x4 because of family safety when me and my sster were little so think shes gotten soft

 

Depending on money in the future i might buy the car out so its 100% mine so she car buy another car but we'l see
