Colin,
Your right mate and the quality does seem excellent (and the guy is local to me!) Just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing. You know what its like mate. I'd get it and someone would say ......"Oh er I could have got you one from blah,blah,blah for £350".
I have to say that the others I've looked at other than genuine Subaru ones @ £800 haven't been up to the mark.
Cheers
Gus
