put some mud flaps on the front........trust me it will be the best thing you do.....other wise your baby blue will be stone chip black.
Had mine out for a bit and its filthy....but then again its done 1500 miles in the last few weeks.
Its first legal run was 750 miles

HEEEEYYYYYYY!
Great stuff!
You must be thrilled, it's turned out really nice mate!
Did you use that rear panel in the end? If so it looks good with the paint job.
Once your on the road drop me a u2u if you don't mind an excited passenger? I'd love a bit of encouragement prior to getting mine on the
road.
Cheers
Andrew

it is the same on both sides, all the parts have been bought/given from here there and everywhere and none of the parts are a match so iv done the
best i can with the parts to hand, to get the arches to "look right" then thats the position i found looked better, i think it looks good
and am happy with the result considering the mismatch of pieces/parts
cheers

I think it looks fine, as long as it matches which it does.
