Hi Stephen

No problem

Just to double check, you need piece No 1 with just the sides (38 mm) and the bottom
I have attached a schematic of your kit as it will look.



PM me your email address and I will send you the schematic above Simon sent me. What you need to do is attach it to an email to him, tell him you want item 1 you made for Stephen from the club, then he will know exactly what you want, but you need the sides of part 1 to be 35mm and the bottom.

I have been watching trebors thread closely, you may want to wait for Simons latest schematic,

PS Some ICE units need removal tools, if you can remove your ICE unit ready that would help
Thanks for the E-mail mate

there are a few pieces that i will be ordering from him and he has said he can do an xbox 360 in walnut, just needs a faceplate from it to copy. Should look amazing if we can get it all tied in and working

regards John

No probs if it's a bit much, still attending either way.

Just found out current insurers don't allow ANY engine mods so I'll not want this fitting now - still got six months to run on the policy.

I'll still be attending though.

Cheers

Thats too bad Jim. Seems a fair few companies won't cover performance mods on Rovers, though cosmetic changes are ok if notified.

Yes seems so Ian, don't think they'll be getting my business again in six months time. Don't want to repeat what they said when I asked about putting a provisional licence holder on the policy...............

I know what you're saying John, but knowing my luck I'd have been caught out if I'd had it fitted and not declared it.

Still could be interesting for you though, you might end up fitting it but to another car........

Cheers
