Removed the towing sub-frame today, saved a good 10kg. Sealed up all the holes it left with black sicaflex, so there's no problem with water spray coming up into the boot.

Good to know :) but that's hardly a fair comparison, is it??

I'm definitely doing a VP build, I've seen the light. They're nicer inside than VNs, and you can't go past a good Calais. I just want cooler factory options :)

Yep they're the ones from the 5L:D That's for sale on the cheap so it's been downgraded to 17" VT SS for the moment.

I've seen VNs with smoothed garnishes, I hate them! ;) Never mind knocking a year or 2 off its age, I'm planning on knocking the body kit off, I'm over it. Back to standard or SS bumpers.. whatever comes up at a good price. I have an Exec rear bar in the shed ready, just need to make a full set and the kit's off!
