I did mine a while back too, bit of VHT paint. But damn I wish I had ventilated discs, and some decent mags.

I will say that thay came up really well. Makes a hell of a difference. Now you can come around and do mine! :p

After tennis, come up to Heathcote!

Bucks problem is he can't remember which thread he posted them in. They are on here somewhere, but you will have to do some searching for them - in amongst all his "funny" posts. Here's a link to a nice shot of it:



And here's your reaction to it:

dont get me wrong, i love the XR's.....but IMO, when you go with the t series kit...u have to get the t series front, or the pursuit front if u want the round head lights......its just because of the big skirts on the t series kit....and the t series and pursuit front lips make it line up perfectly.....

and i think the t series wing really completes the kit.....

are you going to be gettin some bigger exhaust tips to fill that gap? it must be a huge gap

lookin good though buck
