Is this your first Scoob mate?

If it is, then that's a good starting spec

Do you mind me asking what you paid for it?

Hopefully ready for you tomorrow. Good things come to those who wait!!

Welcome. Enjoy your ownership. Tip from an old hand, don't be in a hurry to change anything or spend money. Gain a bit of knowledge first and then spend wisely. Impetuous decisions are usually bad ones.

Leave it alone, it's spot on where it is atm. Not much more to do tbh.

Only thing I would add would be a pair of subframe lock bolts @£25.
