Default guess the next mod for the cos LOL
wanted some of these for a while but didn't want to pay the silly prices for the genuine ones! SO, i bought a new pair of leccy ones and chopped them up!
will still be electric but sadly not heated

Big thanks to ian, ( PD on here ) for bonding them together and getting them roughly right and returning them in 1 day for me to try on for to check the angle of the dangle ready for him to finsh off and smooth then paint
