The fog light grill is probably the most expensive!!
You seem to have had much the same work done as myself! How much did the new rear calipers cost? Did you consider refurbishment?

I did look at refurb for the rear callipers but found some new Lucas ones on eBay for about £140 for the pair.

Ha ha, we'll that's gone now Andrew. I had a little beard trim and got carried away. All off again now.

Not a bad price at all. That was about what I paid for my refurbished pair - but mine were high gloss painted as well.

I just wanted some that worked!

The old set were getting very sticky, I could not even wind in the pistons anymore so I just got some new ones.

I have the old ones still so may refurb them at some point.
