Looks good on the bike, Air filter is going to be a problem as i cant think of a way of making one at the moment

Looks better with some chrome bits

Bob, when you laugh about 18 mpg i am guessing to are not paying $10 a gallon like we do ............ ::cry:

There is a lot of truth in what Phantom says. In the UK Audi dealerships no longer repair, just replace. When i had a light whine from my diff they wanted £3300 to replace it and replacing the whining bearing was not an option. Fortunately for every main dealer there are half a dozen...

For those that care :-) My Audi has a Loba HP fuel pump. APR big bore cast downpipe, Miltek exhaust with race cat, VWR Cold air intake, APR coils, Wagner intercooler, Eibach prow springs, DV+ , APR stg 3 software and HEL brake lines......150k miles and still 0-60 3.6 seconds and 400bhp. (stock...

today i decided to go with the kit decals its obviously not correct but its a nod towards a current theme from Harley I did have a choice of Star or Star with the circle round it and thought the one with the circle was more interesting. I'm sure someone here will explain the difference in...

I am currently trying to decide on a Macan..... My local garage can handle any repairs but he says think a minimum of double the cost of my Audi for like for like repairs, Nearly all that cost is labour much like yours. Its odd because a Macan is basically an Audi Q5 and a Cheyanne is a Q7...

Black it is then :)

I dont think Fusion Chrome is available in the UK. i seem to remember looking for it before. If i can find out exactly what it is then i am sure other manufacturers will market it under their own brand,

Bob i used to know a chap that spent hours editing the pictures of his models to make them -perfect....................i never did understand why ? I think if there is any value in my build threads its because i show what's gone wrong, not so much, what's gone right :cool:

I think we are being forced into new tech not because its better, its just easier ...but they sell it on being better. Over here the phone phone system across the country is being converted to fibre optic. its nowhere near as good as the old copper lines but they need fibre to satisfy the huge...

In my experience the major problem with phone pictures other than for selfies is the lens. People like me dont spend £1k on a lens for the camera and think a £20 plastic phone lens 5mm wide is going to to cut it :) To get round this problem the phones use a huge amount of processing power to...

I think the problem is phones take massive pictures/files. I just took as random pic on my s10 and its 3.3mb.

The first one was Steve MacQueen's......who am i to argue :) I think the Chrome look is a modern restoration thing, i cant find an original with chrome. Probably not much of a thing in 1937. The bling Harleys came along in the 1960's i think

Hmmm, i dont like this This chrome cover doesnt stand scrutiny from anywhere less than 3ft away :-) My options are limited really, its just too bigger surface for chrome paints. Its also not durable. I find chrome paints work quite well on smaller parts where the surface is not big enough...
