whacked a badger and ended up smashing off half of the splitter
luckily no other damage, but the sounds i heard (bones crunching?) as it went under the car, totally sickening!!!
i think i only hit it, as first instinct when...

as one day you may forget to check it, and may end up far too low then causing...

if you intend to keep the trophy standard, go for it!!! :up:
i personally think you will miss the few extras that the FF182 has (like the xenons! possibly the climate control and few...

this sounds interesting
what kind of discount? available to anyone or not?
where did you have it fitted? :)
thanks again everyone.

looking around to get a kit for mine and my mates clio'
i see "SKF" and "continental" at euro car parts
i think the OEM ones were master grip or gates
can anyone confirm whats good, and not good to use?
where is the best place to buy one from?
what sort of prices should i expect to pay...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/320657837195
could still be a mistake on the new adverts???
but doesnt look like it...? #-o
anyone :D
i did catch the end of the plate, but cant remember it now :oops:
not even sure if the first 2 were HV lol. deffo 55 reg though! was about 20 mins ago :D
damn :(
i only ordered 2 tyres from there a short while ago with that code, found it on google (kuga owners club)
i guess someone could contact them to mention many trophy owners want to purchase the same tyre and see if they are up for giving a discount? :)
