Nope, afraid not.

Bearings and top mounts are separate items.

BTW, those prices are my best guesses, so i could be well out.

Bilstein B4 Front Shocks £59.00 x 2 = £118
Bilstein Front Springs £38.74 x 2 = £77.48
Bilstein Top Mounts w/ bearings x £30.18 = £60.36
Total £255.84 roughly 300 euro.

Like for like equivalents so no should have no hassle from insurance, and the prices are from autodoc so could probably get them better at local motor factors.

RE Royal Steering Wheels. I had mine done with them last year, and I love it, I visited and they swapped while I waited. 100% would do again.

I had my car polished and a fresh ceramic applied last week by a local detailer. He's done an amazing job, the pictures don't really do it justice.  :cool:

Would love to have a garage with a car lift like that in it  :smiley:

Lift was a recent purchase, one of them things where I put it off for a long time cause I kept thinking I wouldn't use it much however It's so handy makes everything so much easier, between cleaning, maintenance and the fitting of the new exhaust It's been used non stop! and when I don't need it I can just wheel it into the corner out of the way.  :smiley:

Fitted my new headlight and "looked" at fitting my res delete, but thought the better of it. The bolts looked to corroded to be fecking about on my back... Will take it to a garage I think.

Yeah I know I'm a big baby!  :grin: :grin:

It's a Twin Busch TW S3-10 E (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDrmLX6fSRc&t=279s), got it from Down Garage Equipment but I'm in NI, I'd assume there's mainland suppliers too.
