Hm not that much over an overkill, worth the upgrade and you can normally pick up all the stuff pretty cheap! All you need is the calipers/brackets and they normally go on here pretty often for around £25/30 then some good pads (some greenstuff pads going on ebay at the mo which are excellent...
Valver box's are weaker than williams box's though, abused or not! Obviously if you don't abuse it, it will last longer, but then its not like you're driving a ickle 1.2 is it :p
Lol nothing is proper on my car, so turns out it was only 1 bonnet switch :( The switch was totally shagged, gone blue and corroded, sorted it out though... it was only 1 wire... is this right?

Mainly use it for browsing the net/work and sometimes games! Want something that could run newer games as my machine can't run half of them now :(
