Hi all,

I bought a pair of chrome style bars from e-bay (2fast2cool). They're really good, definitely the best I've seen. The downside is you've to be pretty competent at this stuff to be able to install them and I unfortunately am not, even with the instructions included. They cost me €105 so the closest offer to that can have them.

before you give them up you should come to one of the runs/tech days and see if one of the guys/girls will give you a hand installing them.

I'm no mechanic, but with a but of guidance, managed to install mine almost on my own. There are a rake of bodies here who would love to help out.

Hi Ciaran,

I have the same bars from the same source and, like you, I hadn't a clue about fixing them so had them fitted by Stig. However, when I went to fit the hard-top for the winter there was a problem with the height and the top wouldn't fit. I had to have 1/2 inch cut off by a s/steel specialist fitter, only charged me €20, and prolem solved. The bars have been removed and fitted three times since and I would be very confident about fitting them now.

They're not the easiest to fit and there may bit a bit of surgery needed on the plastic seatbelt surround.

Where are you? I'm in Cashel, Co. Tipp and if you want to give me a shout we could fit them. BTW, I have to agree, they are really good and solid when fitted and will really tighten up the middle of the car.

Hi guys,

Thanks a million, really appreciate the advice and offer of help. Someone actually just took them on e-bay so no longer an issue in my life! Definitely looking forward to the next tech day though- It'd be nice to be able to play round with the car without actually setting it on fire

Hi Ciaran,
They'll be on again very soon. In fact, if run down through the pages thay coupld be up already.
