Default Hatch front top mounts.

What's going on here then? No prizes for guessing what make these are, suffice it to say they are a couple of years old and have done no more than 18000 road miles.

How's your hatch? Superpro don't do a top mount, do they?

Every product that I have bought from Whiteline has either rusted within months, or failed. I have a Superpro front arb that looks like new, fitted at the same time as a WL rear arb, which is terrible. I have learnt my lesson with them.

Baring in mind everything else around the WL stuff is 11 years old, whilst the WL is 18 months.

Group n pillow ball mounts are £950 a pair or so, oem about £90 . There's Mooresport in Canada who do a camber mount for $400, but possibly only for coilovers.

Ah, not sure about a top mount, but generally their stuff seems better finished at least than WL, albeit at a heftier price tag

When I was buying into F&R ARB's for the hatch WL came out £100 cheaper than S/Pro. I painted hammerite on the WL bars before fitting and they look fine so far (and perform fine too)

My turbo completely spat its bearings yet again a few months back so changed it for a VF37 twin scroll (used, low miles, not messed with) and had it mapped again by Bob Rawle. Engine delivery & general performance is the best it has been and feels as good as it gets. Although it made a few BHP more (376), real time delivery is smoother, freer and 'quicker' so fingers crossed (once again) my turbo woes are over

Just fitted the summer tyres (AD08R's)... we can live in hope the car will see some miles soon :-)
