I did that with a shirt only yesterday, it looked quite swish on the shop mannequin, but once I got it home and put in on it looked like I was wearing a maternity blouse!
Top tip fellas; when you've got a bit of middle age spare tyre developing don't buy slim fitting shirts!!

Send it to me. I have a 31" waist and no spare tyre at the ripe old age of 63.
I'll PM you my address if you wish to send it to a good home and a good body.  :kiss:

My 15 year old son has beaten you to it Asker. It looks a lot better on him than it did on me. I could do with a 31'' waist again. I'm not sure how to go about this, I think I need a good poo and do some sit ups (not at the same time).....

They are sh!t-ups and they work a treat I am told. I'm upset about the shirt. Needed a blouse badly which slightly worries me as you have given it to your son.  :laugh:
Off for a run in the car with the eldest grandchild. He loves speed. Bless!  :cool:

On topic: Yes, mud flaps would have kept various lower bits cleaner, but I rather have a dirty, good looking under carriage.  :grin:

Oh yes, the original topic.
I like the front flaps but not the rears.
I like the wheels and paint combo.

Not into flaps or beef curtains.  :shocked:

When I was doing my Xenon retrofit I thought I would take the opportunity to remove the rear flaps as I had the wheels off to fit the autolevelers.

However when I had taken one off I thought it made the back of the car look really plain and stuck it back on again. Much prefer them on now.  :smiley:

Don't get me thinking about the xenon retro fit again Mike  :cry:

Rear mudflaps make the car look like Dumbo. Unless you've got fat wheels.

A lot of effort required mind, not sure I would tackle it again  :smiley:

I don't mind effort (as long as it doesn't require thought as well) it's the £££ that puts me off!  :grin:
