If you have rust areas in your car check the following places to see if you have more (common areas)...Inside boot near seal (pull the seal off in the corner, where the metal overlaps)Inside engine bay on strut tops (again where metal overlaps)Inside door frames - hard to see but its near the hinges.They took photos of the rust and sent them away and came back with the confirmation, I'm booked in at the end of the month when they can supply a loan car (for free). They need the car for a week so I'm a little concerned But hey, they break it they but it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good excuse to get a couple of custom tunes including one with a 300rpm cut off.I guess I'll just sit back now and see how things turn out for you before booking mine in.

Its in the boot for me. Drivers side only.They are waiting for the new diff to arrive to get mine done but they havent told me about how long it will take.......yet.Im only worried about how they match the paint.CheersAdrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
