I have done all the above over the last year or so not really because they needed doing as such but just because the prices are really cheap to replace them, infact pretty much all the underside is less than 2 years old. Tie rods and arms was Vaico (£15 each) Front and Rear Springs - Mapco (£20 / £20) Rear Bump Stops and dust covers - Monroe (£12) Rear exhuast - Vegaz (£27) and Vaico holders front and rear (£9 total) Control Arms (wishbones) £48 for the pair, from a company on eBay i think called PowerX Customs or something. arb drop links was also from PowerX Customs £10 for the pair Front and Rear Shocks was i think £50 and £32 by Continental Direct Rear Drums and Front Discs and Pads was ECP specials around £50 with one of their discount codes. Keep the pictures coming love to see peoples progress. (Also drivers side control arm bolts a sod, had to undo the engine mount bolt and use a block of wood under the sump and jack it up a touch to get the bolt in and out)

Yes i used to have a single din sony dab unit but i bought a Kenwood DMX125DAB double din unit, it works great and the dab is spot on with the glass mount but theure bloody ugly and the pack of A pillar plastics to hide the cable and copper earth strip also really bugs me. I did look at getting a replacement aerial and replace the factory aerial on the rossa but really can't be arsed to drop the roof lining etc. This dab splitter <- clicky ebay link, seems to have what these aerials have just behind the head unit instead of in the aerial itself, has a 12v power feed, then FM and dab aerials, for the sake of it im tempted to try it because i wouldnt have to remove the glass mount until i knew the new dab aerial worked. Small tech question, if i was to use it could i connect the 12v to the headunit loom for Power Antenna (purple wire) or is it better just to scotch lock into the ignition wire? The unit you picked up looks smooth and still very much factory like, but with dab would be a great addition.

Get stainless flexi's, give it a good clean and paint with black waxoyl, don't use it when there's salt on the road, I'm lucky its fewer than a dozen days a year when its salted but in the Pennines it could be 5x that

The course is a no brainier.got (free) tea and biscuits when I went 10 years ago!
