Fitted some thermotec cool tube as the original heat wrap has come off along the way, it came in one large sheet and i tried to fit it in one piece but was all baggy so i cut it into strips and fitted it that way instead!

Tidy, but you need some new discs on the back there mate, or grind them down before painting like I did on my old RS...

Yeah alan, i know them rear brakes are a disgrace! im getting new at some point this summer, it was just a tidy up for the moment!

Andy130: yeah mine came from ebay 140ish for a pair, they are more grey than black though so depends on how dark you actually want them.

GlennyBoy: Cheers seen a few now with the diffuser painted, makes it stand out a bit better.
