Indigo GT have the latest Hunter wheel alignment equipment which has just been installed, I am getting my alignment checked and possibly altered when I get the car remapped at their premises.

Ace Performance Cars in Newbridge can do it - they did the Prodrive setup on both my old classic and my mrs sport special.

It was a couple of years ago now but it cost about 70 quid.

If you know what settings you want for your alignment, i took mine to Discount tyres in cwmbran. They also have the hunter setup and it cost about £45 and you can watch how its all done.

However, if you dont know the setup you want then your better going to your Indigo or 3 arches.
