All you need now is a rear ARB
But in all seriousness, I love how your car looks, all the mods work really well together! Keep it up

I got mine done at my local garage, they did it no problem, was a great job and only cost £35. However i sent one of my mates there, and they charged him £73! They must have given me a discount which I wasn't aware of.
Try Orchard Motors in Pill, Newport though. They are great for camber and tracking and have a good reputation on the modified scene. They won't have an issue with how low you are.

Yeh mate, passengers side blank was less than £3, the switch housings were around £9-12 each.
I'll dish out part numbers and full prices if you want.
