My 3R's in today for Afterburners, side LED's and clear front lenses. Anyone else going to get this done, or should I change my name to Kev??

After thr IC and the BOV's for the 3R I have to get a new M3 SMG steering wheel for the X5, DMS chip for the Disco and I have already raided Land Rovers accesories catalogue!!

Well, I'm doing my bit to keep automotive companies in business

P.S. Oh and I dropped my bike at the weekend

Man Paul...just checked your profile ..."losing your shirt on cars" sounds very appropriate looking at your turnover.

Sorry to hear about the bike...Ducati has to be a very consistent taste with your cars...hope didn't involve any personal injury!?

Please tell me your like 108 years old. Cricky you have owned a few motors!!

I dropped my bike in the most embarrasing way ever last year. SV650s, came up to busy lights, loads of cars and people waiting to cross and decided to try and pull a stoppie. Missed the spot of diesel on the road and the nose slipped away while the back was 2 foot in the air. Ouch. Even worse when 10 passers by are all trying to help me back up, saying "oh are you ok" "what happenned?" [big hole, eat me]

Paul, can't wait to see those afterburners. My 3R I think already has clear indicators, did the factory change the spec?

Interested to hear any news on the Lexus style lights in recent thread. Anyone got them yet??

Would be interested to know Mr Merc, as I think I will order a set too if it is. Otherwise I am going to do a Max Power tint job. Guess I will have to remove the units to do this properly. Full days job then!!

Are you fitting them yourself?

Are you sure Dan. I am asking about the Lexus stlye mondeo lights, not the afterburners. I would have thought that if they are a direct replacement for a mondeo then they should also be for us? Any ideas?

Blimey, dropped my car off at Vegantune for the Afterburners. Nice guys, got talked into a solid pipe, BOV, sill plates, throttle mod and the side LED's oh and some seat protectors

Salesman's dream!!

However, just when you think it couldn't get any worse, took the opportunity to go with my friend to pick up his 535d Touring which I talked him into!! Bloody nice car. What should be sitting in the showroom but a 53 plate 380 mile CSL

Fortunately, having been out all day, our wives are no longer talking to us so don't have to explain why we're now sharing a CSL! Oooh the noise....could just be worth the cost of divorce

Whilst I might feel 108 or will by the time wifey's finished with me, I'm not quite there yet.

Lets face it we could all be dead tomorrow, or worse still, broke

Oh and whilst I think about it, thanks for the concern. Bit of a tt to be honest. I'd love to say that I was hanging off, pegs on the floor and the front washed out.....but truth is it jumped off the crappy paddock stand when I was getting it out of the garage
