    Powerflex Wishbone Bushes - if the metal sleeve moves

    I had Powerflex wishbone bushes put on the car a while back. After a while I got a crazy noise coming from the car I thought/was led to believe was a brand new shock Got a good look underneath and the only odd thing we spotted is one of the metal collars for the wishbone bushes has moved...

    Streamline Carbon - Lacquer or not?

    Apparently due to wear & tear the lacquer has started to peel & bubble on my CF mirror covers To be fair they are on the car a right while now, rang Streamline anyway and spoke to Chris about how to freshen them up.
