you've got to go a long way to beat the XA with mods in the looks dept.

I emailed that guy, and he wont ship to the uk :roll:

Hope your not referring to me, I am happy to help anyone in need of AR modifications, whether is a complete mod or just advice on " how to" DIY.

presambly not Steve (was it 'dave'...?), but I didn't mean it unpleasantly really, despite the rolling eyes... more just that I've made so many enquiries stateside to be met with that answer... which is completely understandable btw!
