I was thinking of keying the side of it just to add some features of my own.
But in all seriousness, this week I'll be putting the 'rods back on, refurbing them silver and going for a much more OEM look as that's just more to my taste personally.

Vaughan and I already had a "discussion" about the PR3's and how, in my opinion, they suited the car perfectly... He disagrees.

I think you'll find most people jack on the beam without any negative effects.
There's a simple answer to avoiding that, don't go to Halfords

As the beam is not meant to take that much weight in one place, some say it could twist/bend it. Although I have for years with no ill effects. It's like jacking on the diff of a rear drive, some have done it for years, others are "you shouldn't do that".
Off you go then Vaughan although if you like them I don't know why you wouldn't like PR3's?! There's a bit of a price difference... Unless you get lucky

Stuck my Meridian wheel on, as the steering wheel already on the car was peeling a bit, and wasn't on straight..
Received my boss kit today so now just need to order another steering wheel (undecided on flat or dished)..
