No more black kidneys for me. You live and learn.

Thank you to those who bullied me previously.

I like chrome grills but they just don't look right on my car. Yours however must've looked dreadful with black kidneys- far better being chrome 8)

Looks 100% better dude. Chromies only suit chrome grills. black grills are for Facelift turds. My touring has black grill and it looks nice. But never on the chromie :nono:

The appearance of Duhg will never get her into Cr24v.

However... either Beaver has an invisible engine and very high suspension or...










wait a bloody minute!

Well Mr Magpie... I am exceedingly confused then!

Mine was covered in stone chips and looked rubbish from the beginning. I just liked having a non-OEM grill aping a '68 Dodge Charger.

So glad to be back to standard.

I was asked if I'd have the sticker on there as I won 'Car of the Meet' at the 8-ball diner meet I attended! The other side is reserved for 'pcCR24v' when I have it made.

What do you think of the Beaver developments?

I'm going to create a separate thread...

This is my lovely exhaust by Zero.

Pink blob added by me.


Shiny

Alternate pink blob also my doing.


The exhaust sound is very aggressive. I was almost the loudest out on the RAF Cottesmore track. Yet when at resting revs, you can barely tell she's running. Beyond a certain rev range she has a whistle that sounds like a turbo. No, it isn't blowing! Apparently the junction from 2 pipes into 1 causes the unusual sound.

In any case, I really like it.

He certainly does.

Sadly my brother felt it necessary to re-weld the rear bracket in a stronger manner than Kevin but otherwise his work on the exhaust itself is beautiful.
