You get no lay in with kids!
I can just see its gonna look so nice, having all the other stuff black really suits the blue. It's also nice that the first time I ride it it will have a perfect body and a perfect engine, just like the wife!

I'm keeping my eye open for a genuine one, don't seem to be available new anymore.. The skid pan covers a lot of it anyway, I'll see what it's like when I get it back and go from there.

Spacers were to give me a bit more clearance on the front suspension, next set of tyres will be a bit bigger.... I'm hoping it also gives the van a slightly more 'meaty' look with the wheels sticking out that bit further. :mrgreen:
The van should settle a little bit, 24" :lol: With the interior in it's normally 52.5cm from arch to centre of wheel
