A very subjective and personal thing but I always prefer the intercooler pipes visible through the grille to be painted black, looks a bit `cleaner` imo. Doesn`t affect performance, it`s just a styling thing. I`ve never liked the shiny visible intercoolers on show. I`m just getting old and boring, carry on... lol
In the end yes, if I hadn't have gone round the houses with it 2 weekends probably would have seen it done
I've been on a roll today, oil and filter changed, wiring tidied up, navigator pouches fitted and single wiper conversion made.

1st day out today at Donington Park, only 1 problem really when the bottom hose got cut through when the fans kicked in but other than that it was faultless, more than can be said for the weather.

Such a relief, I'm glad there's only a couple of niggles I need to sort, nothing serious really, I'm going to make the dogbone gearbox steady work and swap the wires on the fuel gauge sender as I appear to have a magical self filling fuel tank at the moment
