Of course, buying one from x555 would have saved you the time and effort involved in "wood butchering" which doesn't sound like a fulfilling pastime :)

So, by that virtue, what do you call welding done by a sparky? Is it 'Weld Splatter' :poke: :rofl:

I just bought one from x555 as it was much easier... however 9 months later its still not fitted! Had far too many other projects on the go and my X5 has been used as a very expensive Van!
