How were they size wise? I hope I haven't made an error going up a half size. Shouldn't matter I will be able to return
them if they are a sloppy fit. I quite like how they will be quite discreet under trousers once all the A* logo is covered up.

Yellow visor for my Lane Splitter lid. Going to buy a black one next, then iridium. They are about 35 quid a pop so not
too pricey. The range of differently coloured hardwear is a nice touch too. Had a set in bronze arrive today because hipster.

It's not complete until you get a Wipey.

No wipey needed, I don't go out in rain.

@grr666: it's not like when someone buys a new bike, and even the bike gear purchases can be interesting, especially if someone comments on effectiveness or something like that, and you do tend to post a lot of that kind of thing.

If someone like Howling Terror posts about his latest studio gear, I get that; it's his hobby, and others have shown an interest, so discussion is generated.

But some people seem compelled to post about every little thing they've bought, like what they just ordered from the pizza place. Why would anyone do that? And some seem to treat it like some kind of competition, that old thing of "keeping up with the Joneses". I thought only women did that (ducks the incoming ). And I just get this feeling that for others, they feel just the act of buying stuff actually improves their lives, no matter what it is, but then they feel it didn't improve their lives enough until they told the world about it. Of course, this isn't confined to BCF. And it sometimes seems to me like some kind of disorder of the mind, or disorder of the life even.

I dunno. Maybe it's all perfectly innocent and not a problem at all. But with some, I just can't help but get this feeling there is an underlying problem, and it's quite a wide one in this society, and that sometimes this thread demonstrates a manifestation of that problem. Something missing from people's lives, perhaps?

I'm rambling, ignore me

Actually bought a couple of weeks ago but fitted today and oh my gosh. It has transformed the car from something with too much power and not enough chassis to something controllable and smooth.

I could have put this in 'Oiled my gears' but 5 windows in unbreakable polycarbonate cut to the correct size for my boat costing 89 quid which includes a £25 surcharge for 24 hour manufacture and delivery.

The window people in brum who made my windows wanted over £1000 to reglaze them and that was with me taking the frames to them.
