EmkayVR6 0 Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 ahh right fair enough, always worth takin something back if ur not happy with it, had a replacement rear wing on the 306 after someone drove into me and when i picked it up didn't really look at the job they'd done and was bout a month later when i had a proper look could see the join and they hadn't put it on straight, too late to take it back by then though!
