I think it was about Â£80 from memory mate. Got it from my local ford dealers and I knew they guy there at the time so I got quite a big discount.

Be wary tho as if you buy a pattern part fuel tank (Hadrian panels do them for instance), the swirl pots in them are sh*t and they dont supply enough fuel to the pump if the tank goes below 1/2. I have known people buy a new pattern part tank, then cut it in half and put the swirl pot from a genuine tank in to stop it happening, thats how bad it is :shock:

Hope that helps 8-)

you have ford shocks though don't you, with the spax springs?
i might just do what you did, by the shocks new and get the springs seperatly.

btw, did you simply screw your mudflaps into the bumper on your rs?

Yea mate, got standard ford shocks with the spax lowering springs :thumbsup:

It would probs be better to get the full spax set up but with my shockers being new I didnt want to replace them so soon

With the mudflaps, I just used mudflap clips to fit them on the RS coz it has the bodykit on so they just clip onto the kit whereas on an si, as it doesnt have the kit on it this cannot be done so you will need to drill some holes through to fix them matey :thumbsup:

(you could use the clips on the back as they will fit to the bumper :thumbsup:

)

Gmax are fine too mate, scamp has them on his si and I have got them fitted to my other RS :thumbsup:

Not that worried about them being nicked with the car being in a garage under a car cover for the winter :halo:

Nah seriously, the clips hold them pretty tight and I have also stuck them on with panel sealer so they arn't budging without a fight :thumbsup:
