No, they don't :(.  It was them who spotted the buckles (though I suspected) on a trip down on Friday.  They did tell me a place to try.

Alas, they couldn't do the alignment either - suspension issues as well.


I'm almost tempted to get some facelift MV6 or Elite wheels, as I'm fed up with prefacelift putty ones  :'(
