So onto the fun bit......roll kit install! first and foremost, its lovely looking bit of gear, very rare for me to splash out on new stuff in all honesty as i'm basically tight! unboxing is fun and Ant has included some great instructions which make fitting the kit a doddle on the drive with...

I'm with Admiral for my relatively stock cars, but I am ancient and have many moons of NCB, lol!

looks good matey!

getting there chap!

lovely work, watch with interest!

oh and wheres my invite to the peaks run ;-)
