i do miss the K1 but yes this is a big step up all round tbf
need to get round to fit the led puddle lights in the mirrors then fit my new clean number plates,cant be doing with this 'GB' sticker and lines around it lol
might have a go at removing the front plate holder to see how it looks:confused:

Ha ha I'm the same regards number plates mate,mine had polar ford ones on when I got it :doh: still got the rear to replace as I'm getting the rear valance wrapped/sprayed gloss black and want to fit the new plate with tape instead of bloody screws.

Hopefully will be able to wrap it but unsure if it will stick as it's not a completely smooth finish :shrug:

Yes will give it a pre clean myself as its due one,they are a reputable company in North Wales not many miles from work.When i spoke with them they said as its the 3m di noc vinyl it may not stick so going on Saturday to give it a try.Fingers crossed it will work as its way cheaper than spraying but still gives a good finish.

No way it's a small world as they say.Its a good place to work mate I think so anyway,helps being interested in aircraft. This is the company that i have seen/spoke with

http://www.autopro-motorsport.co.uk

Have seen a roof wrap they have done on a vr and its a very good job.They have said £35 to do my car! Don't think that's a bad price really.
