Would you be able to get a tyre pen from Halfords?
If not where could I get one from other than ebay?

Lidl is doing a gold and silver pen set for £1.99. I doubt you'll find any cheaper than that.

Got my tyre pen now but not from Halfords. They had hardly any staff in and they are all really young and know nothing. I asked a girl if they had tyre pens and she looked at me with this blank face.
Went to a motorspares shop and got one from there instead Smile
Now I just need to pen my tyre Very Happy

Nice one Thumbs Up Take off the orange reflectors on the side of the forks, Might need to pick off the sticky stuff though.

Gives the forks a cleaner look...
