got my car back today! Only took em 5 days! well done autosparks.

It looks good though, everything neat and tidy, and the alarm works, so its all good. Cost me £106.75 for it to be fitted.

Wouldnt go there again though. A lot of hassle, and they just didnt seem bothered until it came to the money part.

Got my calipers too, one of em has already been painted black, so its nice and clean, have half grinded the other one down with a Dremel, its all clean though.
Will be painting them.

One question though, how do you take the brake hose off the caliper? Just a quick tug?

there is a bolt that holds it on and allows fluid to go through. undo it and when refitting remember to use a washer or it will leak.
