   for the price of them youd be better off going to your local scrappy and taking them off a furio/vtr/vts and fitting them to yours

    For fitting and spraying, i think its about £400. Obviously if you manage to pick one up in your colour it will be a lot cheaper

    i went to my local scrapy today and there was only 1 saxo, (1.1l), (so i took the ecu cover as mine was missing), but i suppose this is a good thing, only 1 saxo in a scrapy.
