I installed them today. Simple to do



Richbrook push button start. Lights up when u switch to ignition and goes out when u push the button and car starts.



E-tech strut brace.

Cheap mod at only £60 and looks good.

(cam cover missing cos its off getting sprayed white with CARNOISSEUR in black.)

Also no cold air feeds to filter cos its a temp filter till my viper comes.

Strut brace looks cool but the push button starts looks like a pain in the ass cause its quite far down the dash, could'nt you have fitted it somewhere more accessable

i could have but i didnt want it to spoil the dash. Its easy enough to get to.

I put it in cos i got it for nothing from richbrook. otherwise i wouldnt have paid for it.

You could mount it on the roof, on the outside.

Or what about in the boot under the spare.

PMSL, good idea broster. I think that will take off. Also comes in a beautiful hand crafted case to store in the boot.

Cheers kerry, ive gone all shy now.
