		Haha, nice and subtle isn't it!    
Don't think I'll be doing that, but a hydro clutch and 6 speed 'box would make a HDi much better imo lol.

Haha it's not as bad as you may think. When I eventually get a pedal box it will become redundant anyway.

Cheers dude    
Things to bear in mind with the arches, they have that weir dimpled texture that most plastics have, so you would need to get serious with the sand paper, and/or filler/filler primer to smooth them off.
 
I'm not going to bother as, all being well, I would like to wide arch the rear of this over winter

Yeah been and done it before with sand paper and black plastics 4 hours it took!    determination. 
 
Will have to think about it, not sure if it will look the orignal look I want. But not sure what look I want atm, keto thinking track but cannot decide.

		Thats longer than I would have stuck at it, fair play! 
Beauty of it is; you can screw them to the lip inside the arch, so if you don't like it, you can easily take them off and nobody would be the any-the-wiser

Yeh I know. I just dont remember it looking like that. Maybe its the way the light catches it in the second photo. Looks impressive in that light!

		It's one of those tripping major ball sack moments. It normally is a bit duller than that. Sadly. 
On more exciting news, more shineys have been ordered and some arrived

Yeah that is very annoying. But in the grand scheme of things, those stalks will not be there     (29-03-2014, 07:02 PM)kentiiboii Wrote:  Love it! What you doing with copy one? 
Probably selling it mate. No need for it anymore, and it's a bit big for a keyring
