Cool

All I did was go to Revolution to get my car up on the ramps, nothing else, and look what I came away with:





Fits a treat, just need to decide whether to paint it or not.

My minds made up, I'm getting my mate to have a bash at painting it. If he ***** up then I'll have to pay someone to do it.

Cheers Shek.

Alyn, Think carbon fibre would probably be out of my price bracket, and I can't get out of wilkinson's carpark now without the front end scraping so I'd be petrified of damaging some lovely CF.

I got mie off flea-bay, £100 delivered IIRC. Needed it in a hurry and didn't think to ask Alyn, but, he said he's usually got them in stock.

It would appear that newcastle is on fire at present



seems to be the bonded warehouses behind the copthorn. seems to be the easyway to have listed buildings pulled down these days.......













hope none was hurt in the blaze, plenty people around at mid day on a friday
