cheers for all the comments.

GT wing will be staying on :)

i've done the ek9 stardard look, got bored, spoon look, got bored...

just something different:)
 
nah lsd doesnt knock mate, as long as you service it then it shouldnt knock.

only if your full lock and doing 2-3 mph then it clunks once or twice, but no where near as bad as my old spoon 1.5 way lsd.
