I to have been toying with upgrading my atts to the under lights 🤔 Its not a cheap process.... cheaper than buying a new set though... and they recase your old ones so no more rubber coating peeling off... for a while at least... you can even chose to have the backs with the longer ears so you have inbuilt snag ears Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had a yearning to have a flutter on a raffle site over Christmas, I won £125 site credit then gambled the lot on a few things and this was what I won 😁 Its in my nature to see something and try and beat the system, I think this is probably unbeatable though long term, I was considering stopping but had 2 things left to run so quite happy it won 🤣 Highy, finchey and Big Bass 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The RH one is massive, it actually fits from side to side in the back of my car! commonly 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
