I really like the rocker cover! Glow in the dark is a great idea! Although it makes me want some smarties!

Definatly get us a shot of the paint in action! :)

Very Very different and unique.

I had a good idea too, how about using glow paint on the Honda badge and lettering so that it stands out in the dark.

Or an all black one with Glow lettering.

:) I do have another blue one... glow in the dark lettering would be awesome. The best thing was it all came about accidentally! Good weather today so i'll post up a picture once it gets dark.

Bad news on a couple of things. Firstly the exhaust i bought is fooked :? I thought the bashes on the bottom of the rear box were only cosmetic but it turns out there not! My Brother put it best when he said "It sounds like it's farting into a toilet" :evil: And to make things even worse the glow of the rocker cover isn't coming up to well on the camera. I think i'll need to charge it up with a light or something.

So once again! I now have to find another backbox :? Why didn't i just fork out for the invidia when i had the chance :cry:

I'm after something quiet but sporty. Emailed the guy i bought it from and he's offered his help with what evers wrong. I have an idea to sort it anyways but i'm not sure if it would work. Would i be able to use a dent pulling hammer to pull the worst ones out until i find something else?

lol i thought the Stig would be good at welding :P Nope thats in Hawick up the loan near the golf course. Update on my exhaust i managed to sort it without doing anythig the the backbox ...turns out it was the dented middle box making all the noise :? silly me! Cut the dented one out and replaced with another s/s one. I also got a puncture the other day. My first ever in my 3 years of driving :D

And how goods this. I got a letter from my insurance saying my renewal is due soon and they're offer is £750 third party, fire and theft. So i look around on money supermarket.com, confused.com etc and when the quotes come back i nearly start crying with happiness! £211 fully comp! :shock: I love being 21 :D

And i'm afraid thats it! Absolutely gutted :cry: After coming back from picking up a new car for my mate this happens. The back end came out round a corner. Spun round and hit a transit backwards. That spun me round the other way then i hit a wall. :oops: :cry: The insurance is going to bend me over backwards so i'm going to be needing the money. Most of the parts are available from the car except the wheels and obvious damage. The engine still runs and drives. Let me know if you need anything.
