Nice caddy you have there DADDY. What's the top windscreen tint, is it a proper graded one that you can see through, or just dark window tint? I've been looking for a top windscreen tint but can't find one that's graded that you can see through. I've got some dark window tint, but, it has that abrupt cut off look, rather than fading into the clear screen.

That one was fitted by auto glass it had a brown see through tint, it lasted a month and a crack moved from the bottom right corner across to the centre of the screen, I have been told its a stress crack due to poor instalation.
I had a new one fitted by a company in Belfast called Mobile Windscreens lads names Malachy he's a top man. The new one is probably what you looking for, it has a nice black see through tint and is much deeper than the one pictured. I will get a picture for you the next time it stops raining long enough. Thanks for the positive comments Bud

Cheers Jonesy, not looking to shabby yourself these days Bud
Re wheels one of them got a bit of kerb rash and they all have stone chips, so I will have to get them off and back into Nu Luk Wheels for a freshen up

Cheers, bud. I love my Maxi Life! Are you running reps or genuine, mate. I had reps off Paul at autoalloys. Nice wheels, but the centre caps are shit. Had to fork out nearly £100 for some genuine ones!! :shock:

Originals Bud, remember mcma1 AKA Andy with the nice white 2K from on here, I bought them from him and he brought these in from Germany they were black and he got Nu Luk to paint them back original silver spec.

Not sure I remember him, but having originals is pretty special, bud. Make sure you hang on to them, in my opinion they are one of, if not the best OEM wheel out there.

Cheers mate. :D I really like those Helios, but where I go at mc trials, they would last 5 mins. Shame you can't get them in 18" x 7.5. Helios in black gloss then diamond cut would look the Dogs.

Some more bits arrived this morning for the S3/R32 brake upgrade I started last year, I will post some more pics of the install when I get it up on the ramp and fit these on.
Still need the rear flexies for the rear R32 callipers, DaveB hooked me up with the front flexies but cant get in contact with DaveB now, his web page is down and never answers his emails (hope he OK?) Any one else on here got the measurements for rear flexies or is there a Hel part number for something close? Cheers folks.
