Nah, more's the pity, a cat 'D' and £1200 in hand and buy it back for £120, that'd be £1080 to spend on it to keep on the road for another 10 years, without having to dip into my own pocket. Now what was that rumour about heated screens???

Well.........................................

I finally un-packed the parcel I received from Scotland - Thanks Fraser..

And here it is:



The old and new. (Well, not new exactly). (Strange how one looks biger than the other but are the exact same size..??).



I removed the Release Guide from the black grille.



And fitted it to the chrome one:



Gave the recces a bit of a wipe:



A bit of trivia...



Fitted:













I took this because I just felt like it and to me it looked cool!....



All done and dusted:



Ciao.

A nice shot, but this is my wheels at the moment.



Handy for carting stuff about though!

I can't wait to get my clutch done.
