Or am I better off going for the dark side side mount kit as its a straight swap??

I wouldn't fit that FMIC if someone paid me. Luckily I already have a FMIC as I have a 150  :wink:

The SMIC upgrade is worth while. But can be done for cheaper, involves some DIY but good fun.

You'll get the idea after reading it. The only thing we had to do was just trim the inside of the bumper a touch.  :smiley:
