He is mate, it was just to keep the gasket in place while we put the sump on. But after a few 100miles the shitty cork gasket decided to weep

Hence why the engine came out before Germany, excuse to put the Big Wing on & put a Cometic gasket on. Its been PERFECT ever since

Im not sure mate...its gone in for the full right hand side painted, rear arch (as its got a slight bubble coming thru ) Best catch it now before its takes over. New bootlid & spoiler painted & rear bumper, morettes & grill etc. Left hand side was only painted in April so no need to touch that side.

Im in no rush to get it back.....i no it will be right as Stu@MSD's old Smokestone has just come out the same paint shop.

Rich i bought them a couple of years ago off ebay. Knew they would come in handy as spares at some point.

Last time i priced them up, it was at RING lighting & they were Ł13 each plus VAT, but im sure that price will have changed now.
