It was changed back to what it was on the old clocks. Took the mileage down before i removed them, then copied it onto the new clocks. Keeps everything the same.

Usually about £10 will last me a week going to work and back and a bit of running around, So around 50miles or so around town.

I went from St Helens-Birmingham the other week with a fully brimmed tank anu only used a quarter of a tank.

People say they are bad on fuel, But I just think its how you drive them and lookafter them. I change the oil every 6 months and do a full service once a year on my cars so (Imo) i look after them well.

Faffed around today when i got home from work putting in the red LEDs In the MFD. Don't look too bad but Im unsure about the 2 hot spots off the LEDs. The ones for the heater dials didn't fit well, Tried to adjust them and broke them



Also got some Road legal pressed plates. They have the reflective backing and all the BS markings on too!

I heard of people sanding the top of the LEDs down to get rid of those shops

Going to try and sand them a bit see what happens. Have even had an idea of putting a bit of blacck tape on the end of the LED to see how it helps.

Fitted an Irmscher i badge to it today.

Just trying to decide on a new set of wheels now then its nearly done!

Just stuck for ideas of what to do next

Looking really good

Only thing I would change is the wheels, never been a fan of that style. 5 Stud so plenty of options

Fitted some Philips blue vision bulbs and a k&n panel filter.

Also got hold of a set of Planet Audio apocolypse 6x9's and an alpine amp for nothing, So will be fitting them at the weekend.

Filter was from ebay, Worked out a bit cheaper off there.

Looking for either some GSI snowflakes or as someone suggested a set of SRI-T wheels. Got to be 17" though!
