I put to him what Merlin had said and he's said he's only ever had one return and that was because the buyer actually had a 5th gen.

Are you going for a set Phil?

His prices are nothing special, the going Ebay rate once you take p&p into consideration.

I'll confirm too that the lower front and rear are the same. So that's now 200%. :D

I bought some front uppers and they fit the rear perfectly. Since Merlin has not found the same, there may be some varience within 4th gen setups?
