I wondered if anyone would notice!

I'm going to have to get back in touch with them. I reckon they've taken the backs off to upholster them and put them back onto the wrong seats. I'm hoping it's not to difficult to swap the backs over in situ.

They were done at Autoretrim in Birmingham.

Apart from that I'm really pleased with them

It does look a top job I must say. Bit of a schoolboy error building them back up like that though

. I bet they'll be well embarrassed when you point it out to them. I think the seats will have to come out to swap the backs over. Do let us know how you get on

You lucky sod colb, love that area of the country. When coming down the M5 from the midlands and get to Bristol life seems to slow down & become easy. Will have to do the S/W trip again soon.

Cheers, tug

You have to love when the delivery man calls you and say he will be in 10 minutes.
During the oil service, we noticed that the front passenger shock absorber is leaking oil, basically dead. So I ordered Bilstein B4 left and right Bilstein BIL-22-164568 and Bilstein BIL-22-164575 shock absorbers.
Tomorrow we are heading to the repair shop to replace them.

I decided to treat my car to a wheel refurb. My car decided to treat me to a horrible misfire

No problem - I'm just surprised you got them so quickly!

Taxed £187 (6 months

) and drove it for the first time since buying it 2 months ago. Got to love that N52 straight six sound compared to the diesel-esque N20 4 pot
