NO YOU CAN'T. Honestly mate, working at a caryard running hot rims all the time, black ones look terrible when they're dirty.

My shadow chrome gets cleaned once a week or so, unless it's been raining they're never too dirty. Not really a pain to keep clean at all. Probably has a lot to do with being shadow, again from work I know it takes a bit of maintenance to keep chrome looking its best. Window cleaner for the super-keen

What an absolute idiot. lol
What kind of person would do something like that? Must have been desperate for some more air flow.
Love the colour and a great bargin. Well done!!

Not a fan of the beige interior though.

HEY! I've done that to my VN V6 lol!!!!

Only my lower airbox is only held together by the 4 corners. Couldn't be bothered to get my VS s/c CAI to fit properly so I just opened it up a bit. I'll fit a proper CAI one day. Already got a K&N panel filter in there so it is a BIT better than stock.

Yeah it sucks in hot air but it gets a damn lot of it! lol

As if it matters, it's only a matter of time before I get around to a proper CAI. I'm well aware that it does nothing, don't worry. It's by no means a permanent solution.

Started on the LED dash conversion over the weekend coz i was bored lol started on the easiest 1st did the front n rear power windows changed 2 white.



Then did the climate control still gotta fix it up a lil bit coz theres not enough LEDs in there 2 light up the bottom section evenly (pic makes it look worse than wat it really is) so wen i get a new housing thats not broken i'll just change the circuits over and fix it up then by adding more. I did add an extra LED near the off button coz it hardly lite up b4 but now its a lil 2 much so wen i add the other LEDs it'll all b the same. im liking the white LCD alot tho.

They'd fit on my 2 cars as well, right, Greenfoam? (VN s1 V6 and VR 5L) Got any pics lying around?? And one last question: do I get to keep my K&N panel filters i.e. same filter size??

Cheers
Sam
