Your on Debz :thumbleft:
col, sounds like a beast, and cheers for the headlight :thumbleft:
Hughie, good to see you again mate, many thanks for the help, If I can return the favour please let me know :thumbleft:
Suprised how good things looked when the wheel was off, just right for a 40mm drop, apart from the shagged disc.

Once the MOT is out of the way, we can sort you out with some lowering springs! :D
