Alex it was £320 which included vat
It would have been £15 delivery back to me but I had a guy working in Bridgend who picked them up.
It's all in, I know they charge for alloy pistons but that's on oem stuff if you want an upgrade.
The bolts and anti rattle clips have also had a base coat to get the rust off.
They did say mine was the 1st Ap that they couldn't get apart to split and in Bens words, he's done hundreds, just my luck....

Worth a call if you need a service. I can't believe how the alloy can corrode, sort of pitted in places.

My turn around was slow, I'm not sure if they thought I was going to kick off about the damage but if it was seized then what could they do.
They tried all the normal procedures and just couldn't get the bolts free.
Once we discussed options and I told them to give it their best shot, which failed and I got the new AP rear turn around was quick.

You could soak them in wd40 or the like before sending, it may help removal, although the other 3 were fine

yes they look good.

Yellow is the latest trend.
Not my cup of tea.

What's next on your list mate ? 20degrees camber ?

So time for another colour

Lol , would be nice to take it for a drive ... But that might have to wait

Want to get car on stands and do the exhaust system, get rid of the rusty bits...
I've also found a titanium exhaust that I might give a try

It's not going anywhere, I pick up my engines from them next week so will take some extra ££ with me, I double checked he still had it but his mate wants an extra £100 , of course I will make a cheeky offer ....

Done - I may get them lacquered
