Colour code the mirrors and blade. Get rid of the standard wheels. Remove the stripes. At least then it looks like a normal 200 in a slightly dubious blue.
And change the leather gaitor thing on the gear stick. Horrific.
His best mate sells weed in cov. Curley follows him selling munchies. ;)

Cons

Yeah, I got very bored and worked out the power to weight ratios.
Load of shite. I'm glad I went for a 182cup back in the day. Drove the same, looked the same, cost me less.

Easily remedied though. Spec the cornering lights option and you get projector lenses...
Doesn't change the fact that he'll be able to enjoy the noise and small power gain, not to mention the great quality. Then sell of for little or no loss. Can't knock it in that respect.
I'd usually agree. But come selling time it'll still be worth a damn good chunk of that £850. And they sound incredible, as well as the power.
They are proper bits of kit.
Sure most know about this. Side of the airbox there's a small rubber bung that you can remove. Below it are several small perforations in the airbox. Removing the bung gives the car a nice induction growl.
Now forgive me if I'm being dense, I don't understand induction etc at all. But would...
