I'd say around £600 for the set perhaps
Tread is good on all tyres.
One wheel slightly scuffed but no more than a few inches.

Thanks for the advice!

Anyone any thoughts?

No worries, I drove around for 4 months when I first decatted mine whilst ecutek were still developing the software back in 2008, it did boost a little too which was nice.

can anyone confirm if the eibach camber bolts will fit on the front of the hatch? I've read that they do, but then I've been told by Powerstation that they don't...
cheers

and another question whilst I'm at it...does anyone know where I can source a rear bumper? After visiting relatives in hospital, I came out to find that someone didn't like my rear bumper and has scratched it to buggery...it was also cracked earlier in the year by someone hitting it and as its been bugging me, I thought now is as good as time as any to get it replaced.

Thanks

Bluebatmobile post to the UK as I've had several sets off him posted to the UK

you'll never get all the doors to open on a single press unless you re-wire the sigma control unit

I'll dig the wiring instructions out and pm you, piece of cake really, more awkward to get to than anything.

He sells alsorts of options, you go to his photbucket account, Select the hatch model and he has a product code next to each set, all you do is email the guy explaining your from the uk and what would the postage cost be & add that to the overlay cost and paypal him, Job done just wait for them to arrive.

Does anyone have trouble unlocking the car with the keyfob? Mine is really bugging me, it'll only unlock the car if you are standing pretty close to it and it won't lock the car from certain angles if that makes sense.

Tonight I arrived home from work, was walking up the drive and hit the keyfob to lock the car and it wouldn't lock. I spent the next few minutes having to keep pressing the fob and moving it around while aiming at the car to get it to lock. It's starting to really big me lol, I can't imagine it being the battery as I've already changed it.

Any help would be much appreciated lol

Im having the exact same problems, quite frustrating at times, as my car is keyless entry. I changed the batteries over and it has slightly improved, but still have trouble on the odd ocassion.

I find if I 'accidently' drop the fob it works

Pressing the middle button on the fob - unlock - TWICE unlocks all 4 doors.

That's only applicable on smart entry cars. Anything with a single button key needs rewired

Could be to do with the sigma antenna. Had a couple of instances of having to replace the sigma module.
