Spoke to Kenny this evening.......alls done except the live mapping, engineers report for the insurance is done so should be picking it up Fri morning......hopefully...still got the standard 4x4 clutch, so Kenny wont be giving it full BHP yet, I will change the clutch for an AP one.......so close now..except the BILL. Its nearly been there a month, but it should be worth it..Just need to fit the rear parcel shelf, all the boot decals, stereo, and finally tweek the front bumper and rear arches, because the 18s are still catching a bit.....But Hey after all the work Al and Kenny have done so far.......Its done... And thanks to you all for your support and interest in my little project ..Wilmot (Liege-Belgium)

Elite used to be the dogs wotsits, but TBH in my opinion, their quality has gone downhill since Keeef left (had the LHD Lancia Delta Integrale). He used to take time with the customers and the lads in the geo. bay used to do the same. Hell, I used to stand next to them as they did the work and even showed them how to set the camber on a new 2003 model L200 as they had never done one.

Nowadays, I think it is all about the money and not so much the customer service quality, which is a damn shame.

Never had an issue except for the last 3 times I went there. Every one of those times I had to go back because of something that was not set right.

Got to admit though, their Hunter tracking machines are the industry-leaders inquality and accuracy.
