Now that looks excellent (but Im bias because its very similar to mine externally HAHA). Very nice interior - very nice engine - very nice everything M8 - good buy. Do those 265 rears scrub at all??
Cheers

yes they scrub on the inside the gaurds have been rolled and clears fine it has spacers on them that are a couple of mm but looking to put slightly bigger spacers to space it out a little but apart from scrubbing on the inside its all good
