...thats all I can think of at the moment, so watch this space.

I see that on the 4th picture you have swapped your gaiter, i have been trying to do this for a while but cant seem to remove the gear knob. Did you have to remove the metal clip and then crimp on a new one? Thanks in advance - ainsley

Sweet badges bro...no pun intended. Any more pics sort of side on of the stance with the pepperpots I've got FK coilies and pots waiting to go on. Dash looks tastefully stickerbombed, see my thread for when you let yourself get more carried away haha. That sticker inside the cigarette light compartment is awesome though fits perfectly
