Link dont work Tom!

Any idea on the sort of off set I should go far? I know Vauxhall is et49 but will et40 rub when using 215 tyres?

[seanr28]

A bit more done,

New header tank from Vauxhalls

[seanr28]

New Fuel Pressure Gauge to fit.

[seanr28]

13 Row Mocal Oil Cooler in place, just need to be secured down.

[seanr28]

trade, retail is £27 + vat

trade, retail is £27 + vat

trade should be cheaper than reail - vat...

[seanr28]

I agree! but with the vauxhall trade club you dont get massive discounts on everything

[Benn]
