Prices are changing week to week on these. When I bought mine there were several places all doing deals and price matching. Do a google search initially to give you an idea on price if you haven't already :happy2:

that was well over a year ago - since then the exchange rate is no longer in are favour and VAT has gone up

excellent bit of kit though well worth the cash

GTI Edition 30 - Reflex Silver now gone but not forgotten - Cooper S JCW now.

Mine were £1160 and the exchange rate is better now than 5 months ago, so you should get better than £1260.

I've got some KW adjustable top mounts for mine. Haven't fitted them yet as not sure I need to, but they are interchangeable and I got them for less than £200 :jumping:

Julian's also a Whiteline dealer, so he may do you a deal on some of their Max C topmounts. He's a nice chap.
Sideways yo!
