Good to see that you managed to obtain the red headrests you were looking for!

Believe it or not that is a black headrest that has been colour changed by painting it red with a specialist vinyl dye!

The new springs have arrived. The set of comedy springs supplied years back will go in the bin. Grrrrr

The bloody thing looks like a speedboat on them, nose in the air, arse end dragging the ground. It is laughable really.

They've been made to drop it 45mm at the front 40mm at the rear. The spring rate at the front is essentially standard the rears are stiffer.

Who made/supplied your springs please? I may need to get custom springs for the rear on mine.
