Not long after UD a massive parcel arrived at my door and my car was sent away to Roo at Low Standard to work his magic on it, and i couldn't recommend him enough. Top Bloke and work is second to none!

Looks very smart, and I like the alcantara touches on the interior too. But I do like them when they look standard also, like in the pic above :). Did you have spacers on the back?
