Yeah got plugs from camskill. Back one's are not as bad as I thought it was going to be, took about 90min or so (all 6). I went for the NGK Iridiums, and made a nice difference to the sound, drive, and MPG.
The Dash bulbs were already changed to blue ones when I got it. It's also has a carbon look dash surround and chrome rings.
As for mods that Ive done, a snap off steering hub, removable steering wheel (momo style), front and rear strut braces, and now on a set of 17"

Not posted in the for sale section here as it might sell quicker, it's in the Auto Trader web site and Jon44w site too.
It's too hard to let go :cry:

But might have to do it at the weekend.

HI D-ANDREWS, how much in total was the the plugs?..i heard that its a big job to remove the whole dash just to put a different lit clocks,i heard last nite seeing im still on kph it might fail mot,but my brothers van is kph and nothing was said about his clock. i see ur near forest side,im near you,if you still have the fto,could we meet so i can see ur dash lit?. ill take no offense if you cant meet. c ya.

Think it was about £50 for the plugs, don't think it's that hard a job to change the bulbs, as I've had to change the dials for a GS that I used to have, and it didn't take much.
Don't mind meeting up at all, would be nice to see another fto for a change.

Yeah it's the same as mine, and same as the one I got for the GS, easy fit and your in MPH but still clocking in KM, No issues with MOT either.
I take it thats not the standard exhaust you have? Sounded nice going down the road.
