Hi, might be interested in some parts, do you still have the front brake upgrade, diff and possibly any internal door handle parts? Am looking for the plastic inner cover, both sides which screws to the door with a single philips screw?

Well I will have a supercharger that will generate 200C under the bonnet

Looking at the build quality I would trust the aluminium one over the original. Especially just before I changed it.yroll wrote:
