You did get 4 wheels with it did you? :wink:

Seriously though was this the bloke that was also selling the mats on ebay?
If you get the tax disc holder from the contact Foley recommends, you wont be disappointed, he organised a group buy and got about 20+ individually numbered for us a while back.

cheers folks il have that tax disc holder mate need 270 if you let me know how to proceed al be back on monday as going racing now for the weekend . the car is a nice one the rest of the stuff will be sourced eventually just strange how well the car has been looked after why the parts never stayed with the car as if i sell i would feel obliged to let the owner have what rightfully belongs to the car !! :?
