I had a similar one, and they fixed mine. Don't let your vehicle go to Cougar accident repair at Luton, they don't know their colours, or how to use a rivet gun properly. ( I sent mine back 3 times, it is still not 100%, but I don't have the patience)

thank's for this photo .... its just reminded me where I wanted to stick some dum dum !! :thumbsup:

That looks a really careful and considered rebuild - it's looking good!

Thanks for all the positive comments guys!

Single pivot wheel carrier fitted to my 5mm crossmember with captive plates inside and studs facing out to allow for removal or fitting a bumperette further down the line. Installation was made difficult by having a 45 ltd auxiliary fuel tank fitted. The schrader valve you can see hanging below is for the rear spring assister airbags

Nice access to the door handle and a good stand off distance.

Spare 255/85/16 tyre and wheel in the high position, might be a little high for me and it obstructs the centre high level brake light. Overall, i'm happy with the bombproof construction and set up though.
