Haven't got any graphs on my computer buddy, was mapped by Paul Blamir though.

Gives it a slightly meaner look I reckon.

That looks really smart Matt and it's obvious you have put s lot of effort into it. How comes you went for red and blue hoses?

With the current plate I've had no issues whatsoever, not that many coppers know but it's actually of legal size.

I had an even smaller one on for a while but got a tug for it so changed it for the current one. I don't do many miles though so maybe I'd get pulled a bit more if i used the car more often.
