been getting a load of rattling from the back of the lude - thought it might be exhaust, then was told it was shocks, then had a look at it myself and it was drop links so got some new uprated ones from Hardrace - got them fitted and rattles are gone - happy days

it has made a big difference as to how i feel about this lude

Thanks to Merlin for helping me get these parts fitted

Yeah it was easy enough after we stopped trying to refit the ARB upside down

Easy done though.

Thanks Drax - its had a load of new parts and work this year

Having said that - there are always seems to be more to do.......

Still outstanding:

New sunroof panel and seal.
1st visit to the bodyshop has not gone well - its take them about 6 weeks to paint the panel silver when ive asked for phantom grey and given them the paint code -ahhhgggg - then they wanted to argue the toss until i showed them the paint code on the door jamb.
They are repainting it but if im not happy with the finish they will be getting a kicking!

Fit new rear upper brace (4ws friendly i hope) got a choice of spoon or tanabe - not sure if the spoon one will clear the 4ws unit int he boot but the tanabe one looks like it will - it should be here in the next couple of days.

Polybush rear suspension arms to be fitted at some point.

Tanabe Strut Brace arrived today - looks like it should clear the 4ws unit in the boot

Nice quality part at a very good price from CarbonCulture/Icetronix

Oooh! It's red too! I thought they all came silver now?

This would match the front one in my BB4...
I can't find it on Icetronix/CarbonCulture's websites though???

BTW - Ictronix have a jobby load of stuff catalogued for Preludes, which is awesome!

EDIT: Oh, just found it. Not on their website...

That really was cheap! No way I could resist that
