Sick to see what went into this one lad. Never realised that was an outdoor middle of Lidl paintjob. Fair effort with the Irish weather that. ❤️

Had heard that the ebay ones were sketch, Thanks for the info, how is the car coming along now?

Sorry for the late reply in this, rarely check back here! The engine mount was a bit sketch, however not stipulates that as long as the engine is held securely (my tester gave it a good pull and push) then it is acceptable. I have made my own polybush bits now and made it much stronger than...

Thanks man
