Needs lowered :whistle:

Nah, looks good mate. Nice and clean! Shame the same can't be said about mine haha.

Yeah it does, i agree. Tbh i'm just trying to pay off the bulk of what i owe on the car just now, then i will sort out the crashy ride and arch gap! Still need to do a bit of research into coilovers as i don't want to end up with a harsher ride than i already have. Maybe the next time there is a meet on i could go and see what it's like in somebody elses car.

I just washed it yesterday so i should be clean! Dissapointed with the beading of the HD wax though after only 2 washes :( Glad i did'nt pay the £45 that Halfords charge!

Yeah you should mate. You're more than welcome to see mine if I'm there :)

Haha, mine hasnt been done for 2 weeks. I found that it doesn't last too long either.. Just an excuse for you to wax it more often :p

WTF! How come i did'nt see you? The guy in the 106 is clearly curious as to what you're doing ha ha. What's going on with my driving, i'm about 500m behind the car ahead!!

@ Scott - your wrapping looks really good, how did you manage to wrap the driver's handle section with the switches and grab handle? I have done the long curved bit below that and that was hard enough!

was easy. involved shaping it in with heat and cutting small bits and then the pain top last bit covered all the small cutoffs

Ok. you didn't see me because the entire one and half minutes I was standing there with mountain bike you where looking at your phone, I actually took four photos in total the first three where out off focus so didn't use them.
I'm easy to spot, I'm the only cyclist in Govan who cycles on the wrong side of the road into on coming traffic in the bus lane! :lol: I like to play chicken with people who "nip" in to the bus lane, I usually cycle towards them grinning whilst flipping them a couple of V's from each hand.

Just don't hit me, I know already you've used the bus lane on the bridge and payed £60 to do so!

.G.

Actually, it only cost me £30 and i was doing a good deed by helping the traffic flow :whistle:

Ha ha, that bike even has the brakes stripped from it! That's Govan for you (or as a woman i met from Govan tried to call it - Juevaan, spoke in a posh accent ha ha)

Was under the engine bay today moving my hid ballast as it was knocking off the frame of the car and noticed that there seems to be quite a lot of oil coming from the joint in this boost pipe - more so down the back. I read that a little bit of oil is normal but not sure this amount is ok?
