Yeah, it's done on an exchange basis, so you give him your wheel and he swaps all your buttons and paddles onto the new one.

I'd known of Jack through various forums and friends for years, but I tried a few local places first and was getting quotes of £400+

Any thoughts?

lol yeah, the most fiddly bit of the job was my fat fingers disconnecting the speaker wires from the back shelf

looking at the guide thread, noted below

oh before i forget, ride review.....

the ride is not to much different from stock, if i had to describe it 10% stiffer on bumps etc... but a good 60-70% less body roll

I wrapped my rear reflectors left it for a few days but nope was not for me. However I'm struggling to remove my side indicator light grill. It just will not pop out. I feel like I'm going to snap it. Please could someone assist with the exact technique. I have had a look at the newtis website but I just can't do the damn thing.

Use credit card or something similar and do it gently but firmly it will feel like is going to snap but will not , then wiggle back-and-forth when you pry it up use one of those trim removal tools and then it's easy from there

Much better stance; the rear wheels always looked like the car was drooping, now it looks balanced.
