;) got late spec interiour, just not in the pic's :)

Looks very nice i likey :D

not sure on the orange wheels you're getting but each to their own! Does look good in the pics.

Very nice mate, dont think I've seen this around Cannock, though I'm not up there often anymore...

get rid of the 8k chip its a waste of time and if you rev that high say bye to your engine...

Other than that, looks tidy :)

Looks good with the orange indicators and that. I'd say put the plate back on. Looks stupid with a recess but no plate.

Looks good man :thumbsup: Tbh i cant really give you any tips, looks spot on :)

If you hadnt said the plate was back on then i would have said smooth the recess :lol:

  • Author

i wanna smooth the resess, but you need some special texture paint need I'm no body repair man haha

I'm liking the orange too, goes well with colour i think :)

Don't think you'd make much use of the 8k chip anyway, well, depends on your cam, but surely on the 8v lump, by about 7000rpm, you'd be dropping back down the power curve..
