Just had mine done........

Think it was £70 (+VAT)

If you know the settings you want, you can go to a few places.....

Think theres on in bridgend....... and there's one in Pontllanfraith (nr Blackwood)

But I used them as Fuzz makes chages to the settings to suit your driving/what you wanna use it for........

I'm sure there must be MORE than that though

He mentioned to me that he gave the 'Prodrive settings' to Mototec in Pontllanfraith (on the old tram road)....

If you can find anyone near you that does four wheels alignment, i believe prodrive settings are: 1 degree of toe-in on all four wheels, the camber on the front should be set as far negative as possible (with standard camber bolts) but with both sides being equal. Rear camber doesn't adjust with standard bolts. Hope that makes sense
