Got my door mirrors wrapped today carbon fibre style, great job done. Doesn't seem to go any faster mind, perhaps it needs stripes....

Well I achieved the impossible today on my R - the 200 mile half tank! 198.8 miles done since fill up and the range was showing 205 miles left, with the needle showing just more than half a tank. Have caned it 2 out of 5 days and still averaged 34.7mpg since fill.

Cheers kelvyn29 and SRGTD, they did a great job and only £60. Really look good although clearly not real carbon fibre but the fit is of course perfect and if I get bored, cheap to change (quite fancy gloss black too). Next upgrade may be to the CS wheel centre caps with the red outers if I can get them for a sensible price.

More what did I buy for it....

Ordered Blackvue DR650S 2CH dashcam and Power Magic Pro kit for hardwiring to fuse box of car.  Organised a group buy for Blackvue stuff on another forum so got it with a reasonable bit of discount. Decided to get a pro to install it so all booked in for installation on Fri 23rd Sept.  Should hopefully have it back end next week from the bodyshop.

Amazing.  You get mpg that I can't even dream of.

Same here. "Caning" an R and getting mid 30's MPG just isn't possible, unless my maths is completely off.
