Lovely Wayne.. ;)

I can recommend the storm lighter plug.. Really finishes the Center console off..

What have you got planed for the S50?
 
storm lighter plug?

just the suspension for the time being Liam...but even thats going to have to wait till i can afford what i want...maybe a rear brace....but i reckon i can get that made for 1/4 of the cost ;)
be handy to get the dimensions of one....

its open to interpretation snoops.

the odd stereo change or minor tweak inho is ok.

i have a couple of those only.

i havent made any other changes to the car.

some people might say even a brake pad change to non oem makes it modded.

not in my book.

if i sold mine, it would be advertised as standard with low mileage.

Exactly. I have all the original parts taken off, boxed and not for sale. :-*

As this is a "progress thread", I shall tidy it up at the thread owners request!

well that was a learning curve......after having a stick rear caliper...iv now just finished...and got the worst back ache iv ever had....
i decided to do both sides....for 60 quid each you might as well..my brake guys found the OEM ones with the M/// logo on so chuffed with that ...also new springs and sliders all greased up lovely.....not driven her yet....but found the rear anti roll bar had popped off on the left hand side so thats now back on :-o

You got the front droplinks then ?

What are the small ones in front for ?
 
yep the front drop links arrived this morning.
the short ones were sent by mistake...however they look like part 16 so i thought i send them with the kit to see if they could use them :-\

Thought so they are non ///M droplinks so you won't need them. The realoem diagram is a universal pic showing both ///M and non ///M setups. ;)
 
ah...well i didnt pay for them so its no big deal...but thanks for pointing that out i didnt know that ;)
