Title: Helious Blue cabby
Post by: krisbattye on 05 July 2007, 08:31

Been sorting loads of problems with my cabby and eventually i can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Just got some painting to do and sort out a slight leak on the link pipe of my 4 branch.

looking forward to seeing this in the flesh tonight!

I've finally found inspiration to get my cab sorted.. but the mechanical problems have to be sorted before i look at cosmetic.. and hopefully i've solved those problems!!

hey up Dinx,

number plate is legal where it is.  Its displayed on the front and regularly travel past plenty of fuzz.
The chrome is def the best.  Give me a shout if you want a full set of chrome strips.  I have a brand new spare set.

Yeah me too. :cool: Would love some as a black winter wheel in 15 or 16s for my Rallye, but I'm not too sure about the splitting and rewelding of a wheel to get them that wide. :undecided:
