Good stuff, Andrew. Wonder what he meant by "had" a girl in the back :mrgreen: . Just be mindful I have 185/80's on mine and they sometimes rub on the spats if there's a dip in the road

Image The old wheel trims don't sit into the rim because of the shallow depth. So they are in the shed and the cheap Repco ones are on there
