Brrrr too much WN stuff to my taste though. Wondering how all the rubber parts will perform after fitting!

Most of the bushes will be poly and i have some solid topmounts i want to try.
as i drive the car i will be trying all different setups regarding bushes and materials so i will
have a few options to hand when i want them. Ive seen various reports on dodgy rubber and
chrome from w+n. Ive only had one problem with the chrome trim around the front windscreen
so far everything else looks to be of good quality and has fitted well
I know you have pretty much blacklisted w+n but i have to speak as i find, and they have been nothing but
helpful so far. We will see what the response is to my duff windscreen strip :hammer
