Other than that its looks ace  :cool: :wink:

That looks really good mate, top effort!

nice work mate looking sweet  :cool:

That looks so much better :cool: respect to you for the work that has taken.

Looking great Alex :)

Thanks guys, much appreciated :)

Apart from looking like it can't go round corners, I must say it looks phenomenal.  Colour looks great, finish looks great and I'm now curious as to what your plans ate with the Borbets.

Did you run into any trouble other than that bit of arch?  Trapped dirt, panel that wasn't as straight as you thought it was etc?...

Borbets are a possible sale, but we'll see how the splits look. I was going to sell the borbets to fund new coilies but if I can afford both then WIN :D

Few bits of flaky paint which I didn't catch til it was to late, but managed to sort it by trimming back.

I must be getting old, first thing I thought was the about cornering too  :grin:

Haha, it corners ok, just a bit bumpy. No issues with wheel - arch :)

I think it could do with a discrete backbox?

Other than that its looks ace  :cool: :wink:

Wouldn't change the exhaust. Its a 2.5" jetex system. I would like to get the back box sat nicer, a bit closer to the bumper.

Looks good but what about the wheels? :wink: :grin:

They are in progress :D

Yeah I thought about it, but think it was have been too much black so I just painted the grill black. I got a spare badge, going to spray it black and see how it looks.

Can't deny it's an improvement.

Get some proper suspension for it and it might go round corners I think 'a bit bumpy' is probably an understatement.  :grin:
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

^^^ What would have made the above post even better is the same shot in the colours it's been...

Were you not keen on those?

Get some Powerflex exhaust mounts mate they will pull the back box in tighter. :wink:
