I'd say cast, forged ones are all around the £500-550 mark per set.

Good work. I remember when mine was at this stage, it made being in the garage a pleasure.

Not sure about the mole-grip mounting though. I think I'd have put it in the boot.

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

cheers guys, makes it all worth while with replies like that. I know it may look a bit shiny now but i really don't fancy the rot setting in again so i prepped it really well, its not going to be a show car either, bit of a weekend warrior and driven hard.
