Definately, I bought mine off Chris when he got crashed in to, then he bought another...madness

And yes, it gets abused daily. The roads where I live are amazing, my journey to work is a 7 mile long country road full of twists and very long straights

I'm thinking of ordering a cut down plate for the front, nothing fancy or gay just a plate with standard font but smaller, what do you think?

Did a bit today, fitted the steel linkages and fettled about with the exhaust heat shield, I didn't get a pic as they all came out shite on my phone. The OMP gearknob should arrive Tomorow aswell as a hose for the induction kit, Royail Mail strikes ftl.
