3D printed plastic is pimp.... but not above the exhaust manifold ;) It'll turn into the plastic pipe game again :lol: :lol:

Yeah. Just waiting on those bloody hoses. To be fair, I'm waiting on the bank to GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK! RARGH!!! Also, the new V5 still hasn't come through, so I'm not particularly sure they know where I live yet :wink:

Wahey!

YES. Thats what I was after! :lol:

Also got a new horn push wired in. Chris from Chapmans found it lying around. Fits perfectly where the cig lighter used to be. Winner.

So, fully passed! Running well, holding coolant. And its sunny. Today is a good day!

EDIT: I swear I resized those pics to 320 x 100ish :? sorry.

Shaweet! Great stuff. Love that one guys reaction "screw it, I'll have both". Apparently my car is also "naughty". Ooo er! :lol:

I really like the one you got of mine when your really low on the grass, awesome. You also got me doing a russian jig (it would seem) in the middle of the road. Yeah, I'm cool. :mrgreen:
