   I thought it would be easy until I read how many bolts and things you have
   to remove.
   Then setting up the mechanical arm
   
   Should be like Lego instructions, then I would be an Ace at this kind of shit.
   Words dont do justice.

   I know its an old thread but just got a quick question.
   
   I still havent fitted mine yet, reason for this is cause Ive heard that they are
   really crap and can sometimes fail on you (in my case when its pissing down
   with rain I bet)
   
   What do you guys think, should I still fit it as its worth doing or do you reckon
   Im wasting my time with it.
   Its brand new so could sell it I guess but I still want to see it on the car. But
   if its going to be wank then no point really fitting it.
   
   Hmm..

   Thats exactly my point, may look good but dont want to be in that position
   where I want to go back standard.

    Mines been fitted over a year now and ive had no problems with it as yet, there isnt alot really that could go wrong with it.
    
    Worth fitting IMO, doesnt take that long either

    I like your confidence Matt, actually I remember u saying you would give me
    a hand.
    If you do a job as good as your own then I wont think twice about not fitting
    it.
    
    Some premier league stickers in it for you!

    lmao thanks for the kind offer of the stickers Rushy, im quite happy to do it for no charge though for you
    
    They say it takes an hour or so to do, but once uve done it once it can be done in about 25 minutes.
    The hardest bit is setting up the linkage the right way round, in terms of taking parts off and putting them back on theres nothing to it

    Would be great if you could Matt but dont want to be a hassle. Planned to
    let my local Pug Tuner to do it next time the car is down there.
    
    If you did do it I wouldnt let you go empty handed (not talkin bout my nob bth)
    
    See what happens.
