He's starting it today, so shouldn't see why it would take so long anyway.
I have let him know I need it back then fonz, but as he's doing it for aa 1/4 of the price of a bodyshop I'm not really complaining

My sub was overheating the standard one so rather than taking that out me and my brother decided to fit another one underneath the steering column

Boots a doddle with a few mates, 1 either side supporting it and another to knock the pins in the boot lid! Wire drops down the left hand side fairly easy too!
Never done a door tho!
