if you can get under the car, you can do it yourself.

i paid my local tyre/exhaust company to fit mine. £10 cash, job done.

£100 for fitting

If I cant be bothered getting dirty i pop down to my local ATS, Kwick Fit etc.. (depends who is the least busy) and buy one of the guys there a couple of beers

I've got my centre section to fit tomorrow, but I think I will actually do that one myself

Did mine myself - just watch for the two bolts at the front of the centre section (the ones with the springs on 'em - they are barstewards to re-fit afterwards!!![img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]) well, mine were

Results - what a difference!!!

This mod can be done with the car on ramps btw.......

If you put the car on ramps, be VERY careful that you have an assistant see you up the ramps cos the front bumper WILL foul the ramps, I'm pretty sure that going up backwards is ok though, if you haven't got ramps, find a high curb and put two wheels up on that, then crawl underneath making it look like you've broken down, there's always someone who comes along to help, get them to do it, for FREE!!!!!!!

There is only 4 bolts that hold the centre section in place.... it is very very easy to do, so i would do it your self....
